✨ wine.spec_sheet
This elegant cuvée represents a prestigious collaboration between the historic estate of Weingut Wittmann and Carl Tesdorpf, one of Germany's oldest and most respected wine merchants, founded in Lübeck in 1678. Sourced from the limestone-rich soils of Westhofen in the Rheinhessen region, this wine beautifully marries the bright, fresh orchard fruit character of Weisser Burgunder (Pinot Blanc) with the subtle weight, structure, and creamy texture of Chardonnay. Crafted under the estate's strict biodynamic principles, the grapes are gently handled and fermented with indigenous yeasts in Wittmann's historic vaulted cellars. The combination of stainless steel and traditional large oak casks preserves the vibrant, mineral-driven purity of the fruit while imparting a refined, harmonious complexity that speaks directly to the region's unique 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.
