Subtle and refined nose of juicy mirabelle plums, pears and apples, underpinned by cool smokiness, oyster shells, stone and graphite.
Palate
Lean and present with bright fruit, a fresh acidity structure and mouth-watering salinity.
Character
Taut, clear and uncompromisingly purist, yet at the same time sensual and inviting.
Pairing
Pairs superbly with pan-fried zander on lentils, oysters with lemon or delicate veal fillet.
Notes
A biodynamically produced Grosses Gewächs from 60-year-old vines in a south-facing shell limestone vineyard site.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Medium straw yellow.
Nose
Rather discreet, fine and elegant on the nose. The shell limestone soil reveals notes of smoke, oyster shells, cool stone and a touch of graphite. Behind these emerge juicy fruit accents of mirabelle plums, pears and fresh apples.
Palate
On the palate it is far more present and energetic. With a slender 12.0% alcohol by volume, this Grosses Gewächs presents itself as focused, bone-dry and with bright fruit. A fresh acidity structure meets the site-typical, mouth-watering salinity and crystal-clear minerality – puristic, crystalline and yet accessible.
Terroir & origin
The VDP.Grosse Lage Im Sonnenschein in Siebeldingen is an exceptional, south-facing site in the Queich Valley. At an altitude of 160 to 250 metres, the 60-year-old vines grow on calcareous shell limestone from the Triassic period, which lends the wine its uncompromising mineral tension.
Grape variety & vinification
A single-varietal Riesling grown biodynamically by the Rebholz family in accordance with the respekt-BIODYN association. After destemming and 24 hours of skin contact, followed by natural sedimentation, fermentation takes place in stainless steel. Ageing on the fine lees gives the taut structure its necessary finesse.
Food recommendations
Excellent with abalone, oysters with shallot mignonette, steamed turbot or fine sashimi.
Special features
A prime example of the unadorned style of the Rebholz estate: from 60-year-old vines comes an extremely linear, fully fermented Palatinate terroir ambassador of timeless elegance.
