Welcome to Grape Masters, Season 1, Episode 3.

In our third episode, we travel to Germany to meet Philipp Wittmann of Weingut Wittmann, located in the Rheinhessen region. Weingut Wittmann has gathered a cult-following with their iconic dry Riesling wines, leading them to the top of the German wine charts.

Born and raised in the village of Westhofen Philipp was one of the initiators of a ‘new wave’ of winemakers, that entered the industry in the early 2000’s. Together with some friends from the region they set out to change the imagine of Rheinhessen, and elevate the status of its wines. The result? They became some of the most sought-after German wine producers in the world.

In this episode we talk with Philipp about his vision and the successes he created since entering the family-owned winery some 30 years ago. On top of that we uncover how a small village brings forward some of the best wines in the country, and we talk about the bio-dynamic principles and challenges Wittmann deals with.
