Rebholz Ganz Horn Grosses Gewachs Riesling 2020
There are three distinct terroirs in the estate’s vineyards. In the Süd-Pfalz, where the estate is located, limestone terroir rules and it is ubiquitously present in one part of the Im Sonnenschein (or in the sunshine) vineyard where Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and to lesser amounts Pinot Gris and estate specialties Gewürztraminer and Muskateller are planted.
In the Ganzhorn, a small sub parcel of colored sandstone in the Im Sonnenschein vineyard, Riesling turns salty, savoury and fantastically mineral-driven.
Last but not least there is the Kastanienbusch (or chestnut bush), one of the steepest and highest slopes in the Pfalz at 300 meters, on red slate soil that is unusual in the region. This iron-rich, well-draining soil produce wines of great concentration. It simply produces some of the greatest dry Rieslings not only in Germany – but anywhere.
Wild and slightly funky in the nose, this stunning dry riesling is a real live wire, with grainy minerality that’s totally distinctive. Lots of bergamot and Mediterranean herbs. Totally fresh finish, in spite of moderate acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. 95 points Stuart Pigott - jamessuckling.com
