Why shop with us?
The 2022 Chardonnay Steingrube is the first vintage of this organically produced Erste Lage wine from Weingut Wittmann, bringing the estate’s growing Burgundian-inspired range to a limestone-rich site north of Westhofen. Its careful hand harvest and considered élevage in barrique and stainless steel make it a distinctive expression of Chardonnay from Rheinhessen.
Tasting Notes
The detailed tasting notes for this vintage are not provided. Given its limestone-influenced site and maturation on the lees in both barrique and stainless steel, expect a Chardonnay that balances site-driven freshness with texture and a measured influence of oak.
Production
Steingrube, classified as an Erste Lage, lies north of Westhofen and has varied soils, with limestone-rich parcels particularly suited to Chardonnay. The grapes were selectively hand-harvested and gently pressed, then matured for around a year on the full lees in barriques from selected cooperages, with approximately 25% new oak. The wine spent a further winter in stainless steel on fine lees. The vineyard is identified as organic in the product title.
Food & Serving
Serve at around 10–12°C with roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes, grilled fish or seafood. A brief decant of 15–20 minutes can help the wine open up, though it can also be enjoyed directly from the bottle.
Producer
Weingut Wittmann is internationally recognised for its Rieslings, particularly those from Morstein and Brunnenhäuschen in Rheinhessen. The estate’s white and red Burgundy varieties have also attracted increasing attention, with the 2022 Steingrube marking the debut vintage of this site-specific Chardonnay.
