This exclusive bottling represents a collaboration between the historic Rheinhessen estate Weingut Wittmann and Carl Tesdorpf, one of Germany's oldest wine merchants established in Lübeck in 1678. Crafted from Grauer Burgunder (Pinot Gris) grown in the limestone-rich soils of Westhofen, this wine showcases Wittmann's commitment to biodynamic principles and precise craftsmanship. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in a combination of stainless steel and traditional large oak casks, it marries the natural creamy texture and yellow-fruit richness of the grape with the vibrant, chalky minerality characteristic of the region's limestone terroir.
🍾 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.
