Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz Spätburgunder R Bio 2022

Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz Spätburgunder R Bio 2022 is a characterful, organically certified Pinot Noir from the heart of Germany’s Pfalz region. Marked by precision, freshness and balance, it sits at the top tier of the estate’s red wines. The prominent “R” on the label has stood since the 1990s for barrique-aged Spätburgunder – a visionary move by Hansjörg Rebholz that has shaped the estate’s red wine style ever since.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Spätburgunder shows a clear, vibrant ruby-red hue with a delicate translucence typical of fine Pinot Noir. The nose opens with pure aromas of sour cherry and dark red berries, wrapped in subtle smoky tones and herbal, earthy notes that add depth and savory complexity. On the palate, the wine is precise and lively, driven by an animating acidity that lifts the juicy red fruit. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness, giving an impression of power that remains firmly in the realm of elegance. The finish is long, spicy and refreshingly dry, with a mineral, almost stony undertone. Enjoyable now for its energy and finesse, it has the balance and structure to evolve beautifully over the next 5–8 years, gaining further aromatic complexity and polish.

Production
The Spätburgunder R Bio 2022 is sourced from prime vineyards in Siebeldingen and surrounding sites in the southern Pfalz, where a mix of limestone, marl and sandstone soils lends both tension and finesse to Pinot Noir. Certified organic, the estate works with low yields, careful canopy management and hand harvesting to ensure only perfectly ripe, healthy grapes reach the cellar. After meticulous sorting, the must typically undergoes a temperature-controlled fermentation on the skins, with gentle extraction to preserve elegance and fine tannin texture. The defining step is the élevage in barrique, where the wine matures on its lees, integrating oak spice, rounding out its structure and enhancing its complexity while remaining true to the clarity of fruit and the cool, mineral character of its terroir.

Food & Serving
This Spätburgunder is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roast poultry (duck or guinea fowl), veal, pork tenderloin, charcuterie, and dishes featuring wild mushrooms or root vegetables. It also complements mildly gamey meats such as venison or hare, as well as semi-hard cheeses. Serve at 14–16 °C to highlight its freshness and fine structure. A short decant of 30–45 minutes helps the wine open up aromatically, especially in its youth, revealing more of its smoky, herbal and earthy nuances.
