The Land
The Rebholz Estate lies in the heart of Germany’s Pfalz region, a renowned area known for its sun-soaked vineyards nestled between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine plain. The 2021 vintage reflects the distinctive terroir of these limestone-rich soils, which impart a refined minerality to the wine. Pfalz's moderate climate, with its long growing season and cool nights, allows for slow ripening, preserving vibrant acidity and amplifying aromatic expression. The result is a Pinot Blanc with purity, depth and complexity.
The Wine
This Pinot Blanc opens with a delicate bouquet of orchard blossoms, crisp green apple, and pear, underpinned by a subtle almond note. On the palate, it reveals a silky texture balanced by racy acidity, showcasing flavors of white peach, lemon zest, and a faint saline edge that echoes its limestone roots. This is a clean, mineral-driven, bright yet structured wine that is food-friendly and over delivers for the price!
The People
For over three generations, the Rebholz family has championed organic and biodynamic practices, believing that exceptional wine starts in the vineyard. Hansjörg Rebholz, the current steward of this legacy, brings a meticulous, hands-off approach to winemaking, allowing the terroir to shine through. The Pinot Blanc reflects his dedication to creating wines that are both precise and authentic, a perfect blend of tradition and innovation that speaks to the estate’s enduring reputation for excellence.
Food Pairings
1. Seafood: Pair this Pinot Blanc with seared scallops or white fish in a light lemon butter sauce. The wine’s minerality and acidity complement the seafood’s natural sweetness and enhance the citrusy elements.
2. Vegetarian: A creamy risotto with asparagus and Parmesan makes a perfect match. The wine’s bright acidity cuts through the richness of the dish, while its saline edge highlights the earthy flavors of the asparagus.
3. Poultry: Roasted chicken or turkey with herbs brings out the wine’s delicate stone fruit and almond notes, which creates the perfect balance between the flavors of the wine and food. The ideal white wine to enjoy with Thanksgiving!
