Rich Pinot Blanc that thrives on 6 hectares of south-facing limestone soil in the north of the Rheinhessen.

Bordered by the Rhine river to the East and North and the Nahe river in the West, the soil types are varied and the undulating terrain supports mixed farming alongside viticulture.

Jürgen Hofmann
In 1971 the Hofmann family farm, which had practiced mixed agriculture up to this point, turned its focus exclusively to winemaking. Taking over in 1998, Jürgen has enthusiastically developed this estate which lies between Mainz and Bingen in the north of the Rheinhessen. He and his wife, Carolyn Willems-Willems, farm their respective family vineyards (Carolyn’s are in the Saar) and make wine together. The labels for the estates’ traditional portfolios, one located in Oberemmel, the other in Appenheim, bear individual illustrations that encapsulate the distinctive character of each wine and the soil on which it is grown. Jürgen has extensive winemaking experience across the work having trained at the renowned wine school in Geisenheim followed by stints in South Africa, California and Romania and for renowned German producer ‘Reh-Kendermann’.

Rheinhessen: Jürgen Hofmann Weisser Burgunder Trocken - Yapp Brothers One Minute Review
Grant Berry reviews the Weisser Burgunder from Jurgen Hoffmann. Commonly known as Pinot Blanc, this wine has wonderful melon and pear aromas, a silky texture with hints of citrus, and a herby mineral finish. Would match with fish or buttery sauces.
