Wittmann

Neither Philip Wittmann nor his father preach organic viticulture from the pulpit, but since 1990 theirs is one of the oldest certified estates in Germany. Since 2003, they have moved on to biodynamics with equally little pomp and circumstance. As they are renowned for their majestic dry rieslings, many overlook their silvaner and pinot blanc, both of which can be excellent as well. At the head of the 2008 collection are two stunning Grosses Gewachs. While I prefer the elegance of the Brunnenhauschen today, the Morstein is certainly the better wine over the long haul. Also recommended: 2008 Westhofener Silvaner Trocken (88), 2008 Weissburgunder Trocken (85), 2008 Weisser Burgunder "S" (89), 2008 Riesling Trocken (86), 2008 Westhofener Riesling Trocken (87), 2008 Westhofenener Aulerde Riesling Trocken Grosses Gewachs (89), 2008 Westhofenener Morstein Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (89).
