Gone are the days when I used to look at the Kirchspiel as a mere example of a well-stacked fruit stall. Not that it has lost its exotic appeal of all kinds of citrus fruit, but leaving it there would not do justice to the fine display of dusty spices, green herbs and stony minerality. Yes, it’s fresh, it’s fruity, but it does not lack edge on the finish. We don’t often get the benefit of hindsight, but having been very lucky to taste many different Kirchspiel wines of various vintages and styles over recent months, I have learnt one thing: it has that certain je ne sais quoi.

Wittmann is based in Westhofen, the heart of southern Rheinhessen, surrounded by some of the region’s best vineyards. The Wittmanns are not exactly newcomers to the area, having made wine here since 1663, and perhaps this gives them a sense of responsibility for the soils in their vineyards: they were pioneers in adopting organic methods in 1990. A conversion to biodynamisn followed in 2004 and Philipp Wittmann reports that his wines now have more character and depth. The estate makes wine from a number of varieties, but predominantly Riesling. Most holdings are in Westhofen, but like their colleague Klaus-Peter Keller, they also have vineyards in Nierstein.
