Weingut Martin Waßmer
Dottinger Castellberg Weisser Burgunder GC
White Wines
Dottinger Castellberg Weissburgunder GC from Weingut Martin Waßmer is a Grosses Gewächs (GC) wine sourced from the prestigious Dottinger Castellberg vineyard in the Baden region. Made from Weissburgunder, it reflects a precise and terroir-driven style typical of top-tier dry German wines.
The nose is refined, offering aromas of ripe pear, apple, and citrus, complemented by subtle hints of nuts, herbs, and delicate oak. On the palate, it is structured and elegant, with a creamy texture balanced by fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone.
Careful aging, often in large oak casks or partly in barrique, adds depth without overshadowing the varietal purity. The finish is long, focused, and harmonious, with a clean, saline edge.
This wine pairs particularly well with seafood, white meats, creamy dishes, and fine vegetable-based cuisine, showcasing both versatility and aging potential.
Producer
Weingut Martin Waßmer is a family-owned winery located in Bad Krozingen-Schlatt in the Baden region, specifically within Markgräflerland in southwestern Germany. Established in its modern form in 1997, the estate quickly gained recognition for its strong focus on Burgundian grape varieties and winemaking philosophy.
The vineyards are situated on high-quality sites such as Dottinger Castellberg and Schlatter Maltesergarten, where low yields and careful vineyard management ensure concentration and precision. The winery is particularly known for its Spätburgunder, alongside Chardonnay and other Burgundy-inspired varieties.
Winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention, often using natural fermentation and aging in French oak barriques to enhance complexity and structure. The wines are defined by elegance, balance, and clear expression of terroir, rather than power.
Today, Weingut Martin Waßmer is considered one of the leading producers in Baden, especially noted for its refined and internationally respected Pinot Noir wines.
