2024 Weingut Wittmann Weisser Burgunder Reserve

Winery Weingut Wittmann

Weingut Wittmann, located in Westhofen in Rheinhessen, is among Germany's absolute top wineries and a member of the prestigious VDP (Association of Winemakers). Since the 17th century, the family-run estate has focused strongly on terroir and sustainable viticulture. Today, the estate is led by Philipp Wittmann, who is internationally renowned for his precise and terroir-driven style. The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically and are situated on chalky soils around Westhofen. These soils give the wines their characteristic tension, refinement, and mineral structure. Although Wittmann is best known for his great Rieslings, his Burgundian wines are now also among Germany's most interesting.

2024 Weingut Wittmann Weisser Burgunder Reserve

Wittmann's Weisser Burgunder Reserve demonstrates the refinement and gastronomy of Pinot Blanc from Rheinhessen. The grapes come from carefully selected plots around Westhofen, where chalky soils combine freshness, structure, and minerality. It's a wine clearly inspired by the Burgundian style, yet retains a distinctly German precision.

Vineyards and terroir

The grapes grow in the heart of the Westhofen vineyards, where limestone and loess soil ensure excellent drainage and natural tension in the wines. Thanks to biodynamic viticulture and low yields, the grapes develop a high level of aromatic concentration while retaining their natural freshness.

Vinification and maturation

After careful hand-harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place largely in traditional wooden barrels. The wine then matures for approximately 15 months on its fine lees in large wooden barrels and partially in French barriques. This long sur lie aging gives the wine added complexity, texture, and subtle toasted notes, while preserving the mineral structure of the terroir.

Color, smell and taste

Light golden yellow in color. The nose reveals aromas of ripe pear, apple, and white peach, complemented by subtle notes of roasted nuts, brioche, and a light spiciness.

On the palate, the wine combines creaminess with a distinct mineral tension. The fruit is ripe yet precise, with notes of apple, citrus, and light stone fruit. The sur lie aging creates a soft, almost Burgundian texture, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively. The finish is long, elegant, and slightly salty.

Style and storage potential

The Weisser Burgunder Reserve is a wine that appeals both in its youth with its balance and refinement, yet also possesses sufficient structure to age for several years. Bottle aging can develop more complex notes of nuts, honey, and brioche while retaining its mineral freshness.
