  January 18, 2011 - Light yellow with intense green shimmer --- Nose dried apple, minerality, ocean brize, stone meal, a bit flowery --- Mouthfeel smooth, watery --- Palate minerality, ripe apples, some herbs --- Finishes on anise, minerality, oily, apples again. Not a usual Weissburgunder, interesting, balanced in every moment, minerality, saline tones and dried apple build an attractive experience.

  March 19, 2010 - Medium yellow, green shimmer --- Nose floral, a touch wood, raw sliced potatoes, green notes a bit grassy, grapefruit --- Palate disappointing, another Weissburgunder challenged by oak treatment, fruit had to make room for oak notes, silky --- Finsihes watery on wood notes. Weissburgunder developed in steel can be so fascinating ... who started to put in oak?

  January 8, 2010 - This is a child's first memory of traipsing through a musty fleuriste and standing at the threshold between the shop's backdoor and the gaping portal of its stuffy greenhouse. The smell is a wet, grassy rapture, the singular and unabashed nature of the Pfalz on a rainy harvest day, the first step into a soggy sandstone vineyard. Sauce that up with some freshly sliced kiwi and persimmon...that's your olfactory tapestry. That's the signature Rebholz complexity.
  
  The palate is equally transcendent. A salty whack of celery, cox-orange, and a bit of unripe blueberry, if Pinot Blanc even permits my association therewith. I suspect, however, it's akin to the red-berry notes of some Mittel Mosel Riesling. The nose begins to throw off more herbal earthiness as air begins to interact with it, revealing a sort of citrus-infused Wuyuan Jasmine tea. You never notice the 13.5% alcohol content, but this certainly has the palate-staining weight of a great Kremstal Gruener Veltliner.
  
  With varietal integrity like this--not to mention profundity--I can really start to appreciate Champagne's attempts to bottle 100% Pinot Blanc fizz. An incredible buy at 11 Euro.
