After spending 4 days in Alsace, we were back in Germany, in the Pfalz. The first winemaker we visited was Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz, which belongs to the best of the best in Germany.
Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz, Pfalz
Hansjörg and Birgit Rebholz, the third generation of the Rebholz family continue what the founder, the Ökonomierat Eduard Rebholz began: producing highly individualistic wines by working as close as possible with nature.
Today the winery works according to biodynamic principles. The Rebholz wines do not undergo any chaptalization, fining, or deacidifying nor will sweet reserve be added to underscore the individuality of the terroir, the climate, and the grape.
The Rebholz were the pioneers to produce through fermented dry wines in the southern Pfalz region. 75% of the 47 acres under vine are planted with Riesling and the Burgundy grapes, 10% with Chardonnay and the rest with Silvaner, Sauvignon Blanc, Muskateller and Gewürztraminer. Due to the purity the wines have an enormous ageing potential.
Hansjörg Rebholz motto is: “No compromise!" The famous vineyard sites are “Kastanienbusch” and “Im Sonnenschein”.
Hans and Valentin Rebholz
Our guides were Hans and Valentin Rebholz, the twin sons of Hansjörg und Birgit, who are slowly take on more and more responsibilities for the winery. We saw Valentin only shortly. It was mostly Hans Rebholz, while Valentin was working in the wine cellar.
Hans took us on a vineyard tour by bus to the famous vineyard sites “Kastanienbusch” and “Im Sonnenschein” and then led a seated tasting at the estate.
