Philipp Wittmann Winery

Wittmann Winery – Riesling from Rheinhessen

The Wittmann Winery can look back on an incredible 357 vintages. Documented since 1636, the Wittmann family has been operating the winery in Westhofen in southern Rheinhessen, more precisely in the Wonnegau region, with extensive knowledge of the soils and vines in the vineyard, the climate and weather conditions, and how, under new conditions each year, wonderful Rieslings and Burgundies of high quality are produced. Philipp Wittmann's dedication to quality has long been evident: in 2020, the winery celebrated 30 years of organic farming, as it has been working 100% according to the guidelines of controlled organic viticulture since 1990. Anyone who takes organic farming seriously will want to go a step further and work biodynamically. Philipp Wittmann has been pursuing this path since 2003, also as a member of the RESPEKT winemaking group, which also includes Fred Loimer, Gernot Heinrich, and Herbert Zillinger. The sustainable management of the vineyards encourages the vital vines to grow deeper into the stony soil, which produces mineral, long-lasting wines characterized by the calcareous terroir. The wines from Wittmann Winery are puristic, clear, dry, yet juicy and immensely enjoyable to drink.
