Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Okonomierat Rebholz, Riesling, Ganzhorn, Grosses Gewächs, 2017

Very pure and taut with beautiful ripe yellow peach flesh layered on red stones, bright, stimulating and so alluring. On palate red apples and grapefruit, but also a spicy mineral element that is at once calm but also wonderfully complex. Bright and textured, like sunshine on terracotta, a fusion of fruit and minerality that stretches away across the palate. A wine of nobility, depth and poise. “Ganzhorn” is the old name for the south facing Im Sonnenshein vineyard, and now refers to a high quality selection from within that vineyard that is vinified and bottled separately. The soils are colourful sandstone and gravel.

Okonomierat Rebholz

Okonomierat Rebholz

A great name in German wine circles and the leading estate of the Pfalz, Okonomierat Rebholz represents the region at its most uncompromising, precise and pure. If the Pfalz is often known for producing full-bodied, fruit forward wines, Hansjorg Rebholz's wines come as a crisp pure breath of fresh air. Never chaptalising or de-acidifying, nor allowing his wines to soften through malolactic fermentation, the Rebholz style aims to be as transparent a translation of vintage and site as possible; the house style, honed now over three generations, is bone dry, crystal clear, pure and unadulterated. Possessing some of the finest vineyard sites in the Pfalz on a smorgasbord of different soils, Hansjorg and his team craft a broad range of wines. Riesling sits at the core making up 40% of the plantings, supported by some of Germany’s finest and most focussed Pinot Blancs, a concise selection of top level Spatburgunders and some truly classy, balanced Sekts. All of the dry white wines below are fermented and aged in steel, with a minimum of intervention, resting upon fine lees until bottling, which is done without fining and the lightest of filtrations. The results, naturally possessing high levels of CO2, are long, intense, pure wines that often require, and are always capable of, extended ageing.
