Antonio Galloni

"The 2024 Riesling Westhofener is the result of the 2024 frost in the Nahe. This was made from Wittmann’s one-hectare site of Riesling on the tertiary limestones of Westhofen in Rheinhessen. All three village wines were hand harvested, crushed slightly, pressed at low pressure within two hours, sedimented overnight and fermented in Doppelstück. Something cool and calm appears on the nose, like lemon with lemon balm. The elongated palate is super slender and lithe, with a bright lemon juice feeling that emanates coolness and profound freshness." -Anne Krebiehl, MW

"The 2024 Westhofener Riesling trocken VDP.Ortswein was sourced in the Kirchspiel and the Steingrube, two parcels that are cultivated organically by Philipp Wittmann in Rheinhessen. This unique wine is intended to help compensate for the dramatic losses suffered by the Dönnhoff family last spring due to frost. The lemony nose represents the calcareous clay terroir in Westhofen and pairs depth and intensity with limestone finesse and citric fruit aromas. The way to the style and flavors of the middle Nahe couldn't be any clearer. On the palate, this is a mouth-filling, very intense, savory, racy and persistently saline and finely tannic Riesling with remarkable intensity and length. It is here where the terroir dominates the producer style, at least the Westhofen character is more prominent here than Dönnhoff's signature. This is a superb dry Riesling from Westhofen and highly recommended to any Riesling aficionado. 12% stated alcohol. Bottled and tasted in April 2025." -Stephan Reinhardt

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
