Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Okonomierat Rebholz, Riesling Im Muschelkalk, Trocken, 2020

A combination of younger plots and declassified GG fruit from the limestone rich Im Sonnenschein vineyard. The Mushelkalk Trocken has a lovely chalky, salty quiver to the green apple, pink grapefruit and mint infused Riesling flavours. Terrifically expressive, touches of limestone character come through both in smoky aromas but also the way the stones grip the palate. A pithy grapefruit note commands the finish then releases into yellow fruit notes.

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.
