Ökonomierat Rebholz

The Rebholz family of winegrowers, which can look back to the 16th century, today consists of Birgit and Hans Jörg Rebholz with their children and have lived in Siebeldingen for many generations. 

Long family tradition of the Rebholz family

All members of the Rebholz family have always had something to do with wine. For three generations, however, they have concentrated entirely on viticulture in the stately house on the Wine Road.

With remarkable consequences: during these years, an in-house wine type was developed and cultivated, the Rebholz type. At the beginning, it was rather provocative, later on, it brought recognition and success to the house. It is precisely because of him that the winery has been one of the best addresses in the republic for years. 

The Rebholz winery is located in Siebeldingen in the beautiful Palatinate. The Palatinate can be divided into two large wine-growing regions, namely Mittelhaardt and Südliche Weinstraße. Siebeldingen is located in the heart of the Southern Wine Route. As in the whole Palatinate, the popular Riesling dominates in the Rebholz vineyard. But actually it is the Pinot Blanc with which Hans Jörg Rebholz has become famous. But no matter which grape variety: At Rebholz, care is always taken to ensure that each vineyard reflects its own character in the glass.  

Biodynamic viticulture

To work as closely as possible with nature - that is the concept of the natural winery. Therefore it is obvious to practice ecological viticulture. Since 2005, all of Rebholz 's vineyards have been cultivated according to ecological guidelines, and a short time later they were already being cultivated biodynamically. The use of herbicides, synthetic chemical fungicides and mineral fertilizers is avoided in order to preserve the natural ecosystem and protect the environment. With the use of plant strengthening agents, the plants are strengthened and hardened in a natural way.

For the operational organisation, ecological cultivation means additional expenditure, which, however, the winery is happy to accept in order to promote and increase the biodiversity of the plant and animal world in the vineyard ecosystem. Thus, all Rebholz wines comply with the guidelines of the EU organic regulation and are labelled with the EU organic seal. All wines are subject to the organic control number DE-ÖKO-003.

And these grape varieties are cultivated at Ökonomierat Rebholz:

• Pinot Noir
