April 19th Masterclass: The Legendary Wittmann Rieslings
€50.00
Join us for an exclusive afternoon as we explore the liquid architecture of one of Germany’s most prestigious estates: Weingut Wittmann, together with Wittmann’s Leonhard Meese.
A cocktail of new legislation since this year, growing demand, and changing consumer behavior—from buying to drink to buying as an investment— pressures the market for the 1e Lage and Grosse Lage. As a result, buying wine on allocation is no longer reserved for Burgundy or top Bordeaux. In this Masterclass we will learn what this means for prices and, ultimately, the accessibility of the wines. Naturally, we will do this while enjoying a few glasses including 100 Hügel, Trocken Estate, the Westhofener 1e Lage and Niersteiner 1e Lage and the great Aulerde Grosse Lage. Furthermore, we will discover how these stunning Rieslings become even more beautiful after several years of bottle aging.
Limited Seating Available
Whether you are looking to start a “birth-year” collection or simply want to taste the pinnacle of Rheinhessen Riesling, this Masterclass is an essential experience for any serious wine lover.

Description
For over three decades, the Wittmann family has been at the vanguard of the Rheinhessen revolution. From Günter Wittmann’s pioneering move to organic farming in the 1990s to his son Philipp’s masterful shift to biodynamic viticulture, this estate has redefined what is possible for dry German Riesling.
This Masterclass is a deep dive into the soul of the “Trocken” (dry) style. We will taste our way through the gently rolling hills of Westhofen, examining how Wittmann translates Riesling grapes from limestone, clay, and loam into world-class wine.
• The Terroir: Discover the unique characters of the legendary 1e Lagen, such as Westhofener and Niersteiner and experience how they stack up against the mighty Aulerde Grosse Lage.
• The Craft: Learn about the “uninhibited” winemaking philosophy—indigenous yeasts, large neutral oak casks, and extended lees aging that gives these wines their signature density.
• The Profile: Experience the “vibrating acidic nerve” and thunderous ripeness that make Wittmann Rieslings both immediate crowd-pleasers and formidable cellar legends.
• The vintages: Taste how time affects these top notch Rieslings, as we pour diferent vintages of every wine.
