ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Rebholz family has been involved in winemaking since the 16th century, and has owned the estate in Siebeldingen for over a century. In 2002, Gault Millau bestowed the title of German "Winemaker of the Year" upon the estate, which has pioneered quality wine production in the southern Pfalz and is now regularly one of the top producers of dry Riesling in all of Germany. The family name--Rebholz--translates to "vine wood," and the government bestowed the title of honorary title of "Ökonomierat" (agricultural counselor) upon Eduard Rebholz (1889-1966), grandfather of Hansjörg Rebholz, the estate's current manager. Rebholz has long championed naturwein in Germany, and produces wines without chaptalization or the addition of süssreserve (unfermented grape juice). The estate is certified organic, and vineyards are farmed biodynamically. VDP member.
