Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This 2017 vintage was a superb experience. Opened with an expressive array of aromas, featuring blossoms, honeyed stone and white orchard tree fruits and stoney minerality. Moderate acidity gave pleasing texture to the stone fruit and mineral flavours that emerged from my glass. Crafted with weisser burgunder - another name for pinot blanc – hand harvested from sustainably managed vineyards in Westhofen Germany. Enjoy.

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This bone dry Pinot Blanc has some oomph on the palate and is loaded with mineral notes. Aromas of bruised apple, petrol, stone, along with subtle saline notes, grass, and white pepper tickling the nose. On the palate, It has lemon and pink grapefruit flavours along with floral notes and chives seeping through.

Wittmann's 2017 Weissburgunder Trocken Rheinhessen Qualitätswein is a bright and zesty Pinot Blanc with fine herb and nutty flavours on the palate. Produced from biodynamically grown grapes and Respekt certified. Pair with veal medallions in a white wine and mushroom sauce. - Community Wine Reviews
