This is a somewhat soft and friendly wine, filled with ripe peaches and pears, and with a backbone of lime-like citrus. It even boasts a subtle dose of minerality. Yet it lacks the power and precision of some of the other Rebholz wines, instead settling for being soft and cuddly rather than profound.

Pfalz Gewürztraminer lacks the weight and richness of most Alsace examples, carrying less alcohol. This one shows the characteristic gingery-pepper spice of the variety combined with apple and pineapple fruit and a crisply focused but off-dry finish. It would make a top-notch foil for Indian cuisine.

Like the Im Sonnenschein, this wine shows a touch of green on the nose, but there are also some riper notes that bring to mind tangerines. This is almost too intense and minerally; fans of fruity Rieslings will likely be underwhelmed, but if you like the flavors of wet salty stones that extend almost indefinitely on the finish, this wine is a winner.

This stunning dry Riesling somehow manages to seamlessly combine such disparate elements as orange sherbet, smoky-briny minerality, a creamy mouthfeel and ample weight. It’s a wild ride, one that values power and complexity without sacrificing elegance. Hard to know how it will age, but at least 5–10 years seems a safe bet.

The Rebholz wines can be a little challenging in their youth. This one is marked by aromas of underripe peaches, melon and lime, but also shows herbal, minty notes. It’s medium-bodied, with a hint of astringency to the finish that should come into better balance with 1–2 years of bottle age.

This wine boasts enchanting aromas of peaches and honey, wrapped in a floral gauze. It’s riper and rounder than the Vom Bundtsandstein bottling, yet also more savory and minerally at the same time. Finishes with almost meaty, brothy, umami-like elements that linger.

Starts off with aromas of green gage plum and hints of honey, but on the palate this is powerful and tightly coiled. It even seems a bit lean at this stage, with a bit of spritz, but expect it to improve markedly over the next 2–3 years. For now, the potential is all evident in the tremendous length on the finish.
