Wittmann 2022 "100 HUGEL" PINOT BLANC

ABOUT THE WINERY:

Philipp Wittmann wholeheartedly embraces cosmic forces to enhance plant growth dynamics to produce his incredibly balanced and harmonious wines. The judges of Gault Millaue Wine Guide once praised him as "one of the pioneers of organic viticulture and a driving force behind quality developments” in Southern Rheinhessen. “For many years he has produced superb dry Rieslings with fascinating ageing potential," they went on. "Almost single-handedly he elevated the Morstein site to legendary status." He lays the foundation for wines of exceptional quality through intensive, year-round maintenance, low yields and the uncompromising selection of bunches by hand. The Westhofen sites under Philipp's care, with limestone-rich soils, serve as a haven where nature thrives. For the most part, the wines ferment in traditional, old oak casks or stainless steel and fermentation often continues into the year following the harvest. Philipp, a perfectionist like his father, continues the legacy of excellence at Wittmann, fine-tuning wines that maintain the purity and 'inner balance' for which the estate is renowned. One of Germany's firmly established superstar producers.
