Westhofen
Westhofen is a prestigious wine village in Germany's Rheinhessen region, renowned for its exceptional limestone and clay soils that particularly shine in the acclaimed Kirchspiel, Morstein, and Brunnenhäuschen vineyards. Located in the so-called Rheinterrasse (Rhine terrace), the area benefits from a warm, dry microclimate and excellent sun exposure. Westhofen produces some of Germany's finest dry Rieslings, characterized by distinctive minerality and structure, though Pinot varieties (Spätburgunder, Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder) are also cultivated with success.
Wines from Westhofen
Seehof Pinot Noir Rosé
Seehof's Pinot Noir Rosé comes from Germany's Rheinhessen region, where the Fauth family has been making wine for generations. This isn't the deeper colored, fruit-forward style of rosé found in warmer regions – instead, it showcases the elegant, mineral-driven character that makes German rosés (or 'Rosewein') so compelling. Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder) thrives in Germany's cool climate, producing wines with remarkable delicacy and nuance. This rosé is made with intention – not as an afterthought or byproduct of red wine production – resulting in perfect balance between fruit expression and refreshing acidity. It's the ideal bottle for those looking to explore beyond Provence and discover the diversity of quality rosé being produced around the world. German wine is about much more than just Riesling, and this bottle is delicious proof of that fact.
Seckinger Zugellos
Seckinger Zügellos (meaning 'Unbridled' in German) is a natural white wine made by the Seckinger family in Westhofen, Rheinhessen. This low-intervention Riesling typically displays vibrant acidity with a pure expression of fruit and terroir characteristics.
