Juicy notes of lemon cream, white blossom, pear, apple peel and star fruit, underlined with nuances of smoke and mint.
Palate
Bright and open on the palate with a gripping acid drive, salty minerality, fine creaminess and firm tannins.
Character
Taut, bone-dry and full of energy – combining juicy fruit sweetness on the nose with cool, sinewy freshness in the mouth.
Pairing
Seared zander with almond foam, salmon ceviche with lime sorbet or grilled zucchini with dukkah and labneh.
Notes
Matures in a south-facing single vineyard site on muschelkalk limestone soil; produced from biodynamic farming (respekt-BIODYN).
Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Medium straw yellow with radiant highlights.
Nose
Surprisingly juicy on the initial attack: notes of lemon curd, white blossoms and ripe pear meet crisp accents of apple peel and star fruit. A cool top note of light smoke and fresh mint lends added complexity.
Palate
On the palate, this Grosses Gewächs presents itself as extremely luminous, expressive and full of energy. At 12.5% abv, the wine comes across as bone-dry, yet builds an astonishing acid drive. The ripe fruit steps slightly into the background, giving way to a pronounced citrus freshness, a refined creaminess and intensely saline minerality. Firm tannins lend clear backbone to the structure.
Terroir & Origin
The south-facing Im Sonnenschein vineyard lies in the Queich Valley at an altitude of 160 to 250 metres. The soil consists of pure Muschelkalk (shell limestone) from the Triassic period. This imparts the wine’s racy, sinewy acidity and unmistakable saline depth.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Riesling. Destemming is followed by a 24-hour maceration on the skins. After static settling and natural clarification, the must ferments in stainless steel and subsequently matures for six months on the fine lees.
Food Pairings
Excellent with seared pike-perch with almond foam or refreshing salmon ceviche with lime sorbet, cape gooseberries and coriander. Equally an outstanding match for vegetarian dishes such as grilled courgette with dukkah and labneh.
Key Features
The estate works strictly biodynamically (member of respekt-BIODYN). This wine combines the uncompromising philosophy of the Rebholz estate with the cool elegance of the 2021 vintage and the masterfully expressed shell limestone profile of this monopole vineyard.
