Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Bright, shimmering golden yellow with delicate green highlights in the glass.
Nose
Currently still youthful and full of freshness. Clear notes of pear, yellow apple and quince emerge, underpinned with floral accents of acacia and elderflower. With a little aeration, a darker minerality, fresh brioche, a touch of light tobacco and a hint of wood smoke reveal themselves.
Palate
The entry delights with a fine melt and a creamy, elegant texture. Juicy fruit meets a dense, invigorating acidity structure that lends the wine linearity and tremendous ageing potential. Bone-dry, puristic and deeply structured.
Finish
The finish is characterised by spicy tones and cool limestone tension, leaving the palate fresh and encouraging immense drinkability.
Terroir & Origin
From the VDP.Grosse Lage Im Sonnenschein in Siebeldingen. The parcels lie on a steep south-southwest slope at an altitude of 185 to 225 metres. The soil consists of pure Muschelkalk (shell limestone) from the Triassic period 220 million years ago – a fossil sediment considered a global benchmark soil for great Pinot wines.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) from vines up to 40 years old. Selective hand-harvesting, destemming and 24 hours of skin contact. Following gentle pressing in a basket press and sedimentation, maturation took place in controlled stainless steel tanks with five months of aging on the full lees. The estate operates certified according to respekt-BIODYN standards.
Food Pairings
An outstanding partner to sophisticated cuisine. Excellent with celeriac schnitzel with roasted walnuts and bulgur salad, a panache of salmon and pike-perch in puff pastry with wilted spinach or classic creamed veal with mushrooms and thyme gnocchi.
Key Features
A prime example of the Rebholz family’s uncompromising terroir philosophy: from the barren, steep limestone slopes of the Pfalz, they craft an extremely focused, long-lived Weißburgunder of international standing. Decanting is strongly recommended in its youth.
