Riesling trocken - Ökonomierat Rebholz

The Riesling from the wine-growing region of the Pfalz presents itself in the glass with a brilliantly shimmering light yellow. This varietal German wine flatters the nose in the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of oranges, kumquats, grapefruits and lemongrass. In addition, there are hints of sun-warmed rock and forest floor.

Ökonomierat Rebholz Riesling presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed white wine is wonderfully crisp. Thanks to its lively acidity, the Riesling appears impressively fresh and vibrant on the palate. On the finish, this white wine from the Pfalz wine-growing region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of lemon and pink grapefruit appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the sandstone-dominated soils are added.

Vinification of the Riesling from Ökonomierat Rebholz

The basis for the elegant Riesling from the Pfalz is grapes of the Riesling variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Pfalz. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into sandstone soils. When they are perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Riesling are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of rough and less selective machinery. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally racked.

Food recommendation for the Riesling from Ökonomierat Rebholz
