Wittmann Riesling Trocken 2024: a refined white wine The Wittmann Riesling Trocken 2024 is a pale yellow wine with a slight green tinge. Its nose is subtle, with aromas of melon, apricot, fresh herbs, and a distinct minerality. On the palate, the earthy minerals are prominent, and despite the lack of residual sweetness, the wine has a full structure that is greater than that of an average Riesling. The acidity is ripe and not bitter, and on the finish, the acidity and minerals vie for attention. This wine stimulates salivation and invites you to eat. This Riesling is of an exceptionally high standard, with beautiful juice and a refreshing liveliness. Vineyard and Terroir The grapes for this wine are grown biodynamically on the chalky soils of Westhofen. The vineyards are carefully managed, with hand-selected grapes and various biodynamic-friendly measures implemented throughout the year. Vinification After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed, followed by traditional vinification methods. The wines are primarily fermented in large, traditional vats, which contributes to their unique character. Tasting notes Our estate Riesling is a true representation of its Rheinhessen roots. Grown on the chalky soils of Westhofen, it offers an uncompromising terroir experience. The wine has a salty, spicy, and slender structure, with the vibrant character of a yellow Riesling. ABOUT WITTMANN Philipp Wittmann (responsible for the cellar and exports) and his father, Günther (vineyards), and mother, Elisabeth (sales), have built a fantastic winery in Westhofen, Rheinhessen. Since 1990, they have been operating organically, and later biodynamically. The guiding principle for their wines is therefore: terroir expression through healthy soil. A low yield per hectare, hand-selection of the best grapes, and very slow vinification with natural yeasts without the addition of sulfites in large wooden vats do the rest. The house is "the benchmark" for Rheinhessen and has become a benchmark for German white wines in general. This is evident from the enormous number of international awards their wines have received, both high and low. For example, Philipp has twice been named Germany's best white winemaker by the prestigious Eichelmann winery: in 2003 and 2013. In 2014, he received the same title from Gault Millau. Philipp is married to Eva Clüsserath, who owns her own wine estate in the Mosel. FACT: In the "Attachments" tab, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine.
