More about this wine
Weingut Wittmann
From 1663, the Wittmann family and their ancestors were grape growers in the town of Westhofen, Rheinhessen. Today, Philipp Wittmann runs the estate, along with his parents and wife. Riesling is mainly grown, traditional for the region around the town of Westhofen with mostly marble-limestone soils. Two types of Pinot are also popular - Blanc and Gris - and Silvaner. Grapes have been grown organically for over 20 years. A lot of manual labor and skills lead only the best grains in the winery. The must is fermented naturally in wooden barrels. The slow fermentation and maturation deep in the cellars, at constantly low temperature and high humidity, preserves the natural aromas. Their best wines bear the names of the plots from which they come.

Weissburgunder
Weißburgunder or Pinot Blanc is a white wine grape variety used for the production of dry, sparkling and dessert wines. Although not the most glamorous member of the Pinot family, the variety has proven its value in various wine regions, including Alsace in northeastern France, Alto Adige in Italy and parts of Germany and Austria. Pinot Blanc's homeland is Burgundy, but perhaps Alsace is his home, although here it is somewhat overshadowed by the undoubted stars of the region - Riesling and Gevertrazminer. The wines are typical with almond aromas, with a hint of spice, apple and cream flavors. They may also show some mild mineral characteristics, which, however, usually subside after the widely practiced in the region oak maturation. Cremant d'Alsace sparkling wines, on the other hand, tend to be fresher, often showing a variety of nut flavors. The variety is also one of the few allowed in a champagne blend, along with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Munier. Outside France, Pinot Blanc is widely found in northwestern Italy, where it is known as Pinot Bianco. Here the style of wines are lighter, more distinct, rarely touching oak. Pinot Bianco is also used in the production of Italian sparkling wines: especially Franciacorta, Italy's answer to champagne. In Germany and Austria, the variety is known as Weissburgunder or Weisser Burgunder (literally "White Burgundy"). In Germany, the wines are usually light and refreshing, but in Austria the grapes are also used to make the sweet and textured Trockenbeerenauslese.
