Weingut Wittman — Winery in Westhofen

Named Winemaker of the Year twice, by Eichelmann and by Gault Millau, in 2014. Philipp Wittmann makes biodynamic Riesling in Westhofen, Rheinhessen, with a precision that amazes wine lovers worldwide. The family has grown wine since 1663: 350+ vintages from more than 15 generations are rooted in the cellar, literally, as the casks date from 1890. Visits by appointment in the modern but warm cellar with vaults from 1829 and 80 wooden casks, each holding the harvest from a single plot. Four Grosse Lagen, Aulerde, Kirchspiel, Morstein and Brunnenhäuschen, each with an entirely different character.
