The Scheurebe grape holds a unique place in German viticulture, having been bred in 1916 by the legendary viticulturist Dr. Georg Scheu, who sought a variety that could withstand the harsh cool-climate conditions while delivering intense aromatics. Historically known as Sämling 88, it was long used for sweet wines, but in the hands of the biodynamic pioneers at Weingut Wittmann, it is transformed into a sophisticated, bone-dry masterpiece. Sourced from the limestone-rich soils of Westhofen in the Rheinhessen, this dry expression tames the grape's wild, exotic nature with a precise, stony minerality. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, it pays homage to local heritage while showcasing a modern, terroir-driven side of this aromatic grape, bursting with notes of cassis, grapefruit, and fresh garden herbs.
🍾 wine.about_producer
With a winegrowing heritage in the Rheinhessen village of Westhofen dating back to 1663, Weingut Wittmann is a pioneering force in German biodynamic viticulture, having committed to organic practices in 1990 and biodynamics in 2004. Managed today by Philipp Wittmann alongside his family, the estate is globally revered for its precise, terroir-driven dry Rieslings sourced from legendary Grosses Gewächs sites like Morstein, Kirchspiel, and Aulerde. In their historic vaulted cellar built in 1829, the wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in traditional large oak casks, resulting in structured, mineral-rich expressions of outstanding longevity.
