✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as an exclusive collaboration between the pioneering biodynamic estate Weingut Wittmann and the historic Lübeck wine merchant Carl Tesdorpf—whose trading heritage dates back to 1678—this Weisser Burgunder (Pinot Blanc) showcases the elegant, mineral-driven side of Rheinhessen. Sourced from meticulously farmed vineyards in Westhofen, where limestone soils impart a distinctive tension and chalky precision, the wine is fermented using native yeasts and matured in traditional, large neutral oak casks. This classic craftsmanship coaxes out delicate aromas of yellow orchard fruits, fresh almonds, and subtle white blossoms, balanced by a vibrant acidity and a textured, creamy finish that reflects the Wittmann family's deep respect for their terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
With viticultural heritage in Westhofen dating back to 1663, Weingut Wittmann is one of Germany's most influential pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture in the Wonnegau sub-region of Rheinhessen. Under the visionary leadership of Philipp Wittmann, alongside his family, the estate transitioned to organic farming in 1990 and achieved full biodynamic certification in 2004. Wittmann's philosophy centers on intense vineyard care, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging in traditional neutral oak casks to express the profound limestone-rich terroir of legendary VDP.Grosse Lage sites such as Morstein, Kirchspiel, Aulerde, and Brunnenhäuschen. Renowned globally for benchmark Grosses Gewächs dry Rieslings characterized by crystalline precision, tension, and chalky minerality, the estate also crafts exceptional noble sweet botrytis wines and refined Pinot Noir.
