Hailing from the limestone-rich soils of Westhofen in Germany's dynamic Rheinhessen region, Wittmann's Weisser Burgunder Nr7 is a masterful expression of Pinot Blanc. The 'Nr7' designation pays homage to the estate's historic cellar layout and traditional blending practices. Cultivated under strict biodynamic principles, the grapes benefit from the region's unique terroir, where cool winds and mineral-dense soils impart a striking tension and elegance to the fruit. In the estate's historic vaulted cellar, dating back to 1829, the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and is matured in traditional large oak casks. This time-honored process tempers the grape's natural acidity, resulting in a beautifully textured, dry white wine that seamlessly marries creamy orchard fruit flavors with a precise, chalky minerality.
