#Bottle 49 Ansgar Clüsserath Winery meets Wittmann Winery

What happens when Moselle slate meets Rheinhessen limestone—and two of Germany's most exciting winemakers sit down together? That's exactly what you'll hear in this episode of BORN TO BE WINE. Eva Clüsserath Wittmann and Philipp Wittmann are together in front of the microphones. Two exceptional winemakers, two defining wine regions, and two completely different terroirs collide: the steep slate slopes of the Moselle and the limestone hills of Rheinhessen. Eva runs the traditional Ansgar Clüsserath winery in Trittenheim on the Moselle, while Philipp is responsible for the renowned Wittmann winery in Rheinhessen. Together, they discuss origin, style, Riesling, and how different terroir can taste. But this episode is more than just a conversation about wine. It's about attitude, family, discussions around the kitchen table, and the daily inspiration between two strong personalities, a married couple who challenge and drive each other in their uncompromising pursuit of quality. Of course, there are also some heated discussions. About slate. About limestone. About Riesling. About Kabinett... And sometimes about who's right at home. Amidst great vineyards, hidden gems, and plenty of laughter, what makes this episode so special emerges: Two perspectives. Two distinct styles. One shared passion. And somewhere between the Moselle and Rheinhessen, you quickly realize: Great wines need character. Great conversations, too, by the way. 🍷 In this episode, we'll be tasting the following wines: Ansgar Clüsserath Winery 2024 Riesling Trittenheimer Apotheke Kabinett 2023 Riesling Steinreich 2023 Riesling Piesporter Goldtröpfchen 2022 Riesling Trittenheimer Apotheke 2020 Riesling Sekt Brut Nature Wittmann Winery 2020 Riesling Brunnenhäuschen GG Clüsserath Winery and Wittmann Winery 2017 Riesling Wechselstrom (50% Morstein Rheinhessen, 50% Trittenheimer Apotheke, Mosel) If you'd like to learn more about the rock stars of the vineyards, then visit us on our social media channels: Instagram: /borntobewine_podcast Facebook: /borntobewinepodcast
