Wittmann Weingut

Weingut Wittmann produces biodynamic wines with terroir expression and extreme precision. The Wittmanns have been wine growers in Westhofen since the 17th century. The experience of more than 15 generations is great in the priceless heritage of the family. Time and rest are essential ingredients for making a good wine. And this is exactly what the wines get in abundance in the vaulted cellar, built in 1829. The oldest of these barrels is from the year 1890 and has already housed many great vintages.

Since 1990, work has been done biologically. The starting point for the wines is therefore: terroir expression through healthy soil. A low yield per hectare, manual selection of the best grapes and a very slow vinification with natural yeasts without the addition of sulfite on large wooden feeds do the rest.

The house is ‘the standard’ for Rheinhessen and now also a standard for German white in general. The GGs earn up to 100 points from James suckling, he was crowned Germany’s best white winemaker twice by Eichelmann, winemaker of the year at Gault Millau in 2014, and at Schlemmer Atlas in 2015 and annually in Mainz during the GG tasting as one of the very best!
