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.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2025 Wittmann Riesling Trocken BIO toont frisse citrustonen en rijp steenvruchtfruit met een verfijnde kruidigheid, een opvallende kalkachtige mineraliteit en een levendige, niet-bittere zuurgraad die tegelijk een mooie volle textuur geeft. Juist die combinatie van sprankelende zuurheid en ziltige mineralen maakt hem uitermate geschikt bij gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren, sushi en salades omdat de wijn vetten en rijke sauzen doorsnijdt, de delicate vis- en zeearoma's versterkt en frisse dressings aanvult. Extra geslaagd zijn lichte bereidingen zoals gegrilde of in citroen gemarineerde vis, boter-poached of kort gestoomde schaal- en schelpdieren, fijne sashimi of sushi en salades met een frisse vinaigrette of zachte kruiden zoals dille en peterselie. |

Predominantly sourced in Westhofen, the Wittmann 2024 Riesling trocken Estate is deep, pure, fresh and chalky/saline on the stimulating and characterful Wonnegau nose that reveals perfectly ripe and intense fruit. Aged in 3,000-liter oak vats and in stainless steel, this is a round, intense and crystalline, citric and finely tannic dry Riesling classic from a classic vintage. 11.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in Westhofen, August 2025.
Wittmann's 2024 Morstein GG Riesling is the outstanding wine of the vintage at this organic domaine. At least, it was the best at the tasting at the end of August, while other favorites such as La Borne and Brunnenhäuschen still had to contend with the harshness of the limestone and were more promising than enjoyable. It is possible that the difference in quality between the crus and the basic wines is greater than the ratings here suggest. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized how excellent the relatively inexpensive Rieslings of the 2024 vintage are. It would not be the first time that the single vineyards have distanced themselves more clearly from the base wines over time, catching up with the Morstein, which is in splendid early form. But this requires patience, and in the meantime, one can enjoy the supposedly lesser wines of the house with pleasure. 2024 was not a charming, full-bodied vintage but a lean one, with a lot of raciness and tension, which, especially on the limestone soils of Westhofen, is likely to prove once again to be a late starter.
The year 2024 began with a mild spring, which already initiated the budding of the vines in mid-April. Fortunately, the vineyards around Westhofen were spared the late frost from April 22 to 23. This was “a decisive factor for the development of the vines,” according to Wittmann.
Until flowering, the weather was moderate, which compensated for the initial head start of the vines. A constant supply of water throughout the growing season ensured vigorous vines and optimal flowering, but Peronospora was a steady challenge.
The harvest began on September 12 with a pre-harvest of the Burgundy varieties. Their main harvest took place from September 16 to 23 under ideal conditions. The grapes were of the highest quality and in excellent condition, Wittmann reports.
During the Riesling harvest, however, a change in the weather led to repeated rainfall, which required a lot of nerves and patience. Nevertheless, the grapes remained healthy due to cultivation measures beforehand, and they ripened slowly but steadily. From September 27 to October 10, the Rieslings were harvested and also yielded ripe and healthy grapes, albeit with more moderate must weights than in previous years.
Wittmann says the young wines of the 2024 vintage remind him of classic vintages such as 2002. And that one is drinking excellently right now.

There's so much generosity, reflecting the 2025 harvest, with a fine-boned structure framed by classic aromas of chalk, fresh citrus, orchard fruit and a saline touch. For the entry-level wine to the estate, this is an absolute knockout. Drink now. Screw cap.

Located in Westhofen in the Rheinhessen wine region, Weingut Wittmann produces biodynamic wines with terroir expression and extreme precision. The Wittmanns and their ancestors have been wine growers in Westhofen since the 17th century. The experience of some 350 volumes 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. Winemaker Philipp Wittmann watches over his wines, under constant temperature and humidity conditions, while maturing in 80 wooden barrels. The oldest of these barrels is from the year 1890 and has already housed many great vintages. Each barrel contains the harvest of 1 single vineyard plot.
Star winemaker Philipp Wittmann (responsible for the cellar and export), together with father Günther (vineyards) and mother Elisabeth (sales), have built a fantastic wine company in Westhofen, Rheinhessen. Since 1990, work has been done biologically and later biologically dynamically. 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. This is evident from the enormous flow of international valuations that the wines receive, both higher and lower. For example, Philipp has already twice been named the best white winemaker in Germany by the authoritative Eichelmann 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 Moselle. Philipp is said to hate August: he has to divide his Grosse Gewächse. This is especially annoying because the demand is increasing and the supply is small. So he actually has too little for everyone. Not surprising, given that his GGs earn up to 96 points from Parker, 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!
Wittmann has consistently opted for quality, which means that he only releases the finest fruit from his vineyards as GG. The rest goes in the Westhofener and even the Riesling Trocken is partly made with this noble fruit.
