Winery Wittmann Westhofener Weisser Burgunder Chardonnay 2022

The Wittmann family has grown wine in Westhofen since the 17th century, and Philipp Wittmann directs the estate in the 15th generation. The vineyards have been certified organic since 1990 and biodynamic since 2004 under respekt-BIODYN. For this VDP.Ortswein, Pinot Blanc (50%) and Chardonnay (50%) grow on the limestone and clay marl soils around the village. Fermentation begins spontaneously in large oak casks, then the wine rests on its fine lees until spring. The texture turns creamy. Aromas of ripe pear, acacia honey, green banana and melon, finished with lemon zest. The palate feels creamy and firm together, carried by ripe acidity that keeps it fresh, with a salty, chalky pull that lingers. We drink it from now until 2032, with veal, poultry and seafood.
