About Ökonomierat Rebholz
Ökonomierat Rebholz is a historic VDP estate in Siebeldingen, in the Südliche Weinstraße area of the Pfalz. Led by Hansjörg and Birgit Rebholz, with sons Hans and Valentin representing the next generation, the family has farmed the same site for generations and turned it into one of Germany's leading addresses for bone-dry Riesling. A member of the VDP since 1991, the estate practices biodynamic viticulture (certified organic since 2005, biodynamic since 2006) and rejects chaptalization and acidification, letting fruit ripen fully on sandstone and Rotliegend soils. Wines from top sites such as Kastanienbusch, Im Sonnenschein and Mandelberg define the clear, precise 'Rebholz style' that has become a benchmark for dry Riesling from the southern Pfalz.
Who Is This For?
