The fact that young Pascal Oberhofer<br />

looks to the world for inspiration is immediately<br />

evident in his wines. His ambition<br />

is apparent, and so is his drive for quality.<br />

His parents, who converted the estate to<br />

organic farming as early as 2008, lend their<br />

full support. Their know-how when it comes<br />

to fresh Gewürztraminer is in their DNA: in<br />

the Rhodter Rosengarten site, they look after<br />

the oldest vines in all of Germany and manage<br />

to wring precious and fine juice from these ancient<br />

Gewürztraminer vines year after year.<br />

The Spätburgunders not only show ambition<br />

but point to rare talent.<br />

89 2017 »Chardonnay Crémant Pfalz«<br />

brut nature<br />

A little yeast, buttery notes, ripe yellow fruit, apricot. On the<br />

palate; full bodied with a firm core but not aggressive, fresh<br />

mousse, lively acidity and a savoury astringency. A very good<br />

aperitif due to its dry nature. 12,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

89 2019 Riesling trocken<br />

89 2018 Edesheim Madonnenhöhe<br />

Chardonnay trocken<br />

Creamy oak and creamy generosity are pronounced on the<br />

nose. The nutty, oaky resonance is great on the palate; a little<br />

mirabelle plum joins in, as does discreet freshness. Lovers of<br />

supple Chardonnays can feast on this. 14 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

93 2017 Edesheim Kirchberg Spätburgunder tr.<br />

Both smoke and earthy tones are gentle and elegant on the<br />

nose. On the palate, illuminating freshness encounters firm<br />

but fine tannins, pleasantly bitter phenolics and smoky fruit<br />

is a singular pleasure. A masterstroke of elegance.<br />

13 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

92 2017 Edesheim Apfelgarten<br />

Spätburgunder trocken<br />

Wet earth and wet, fallen oak leaves can be made out along<br />

with a light, flinty reduction. Firm tannins on the palate, fine<br />

phenolics, bright, fresh, beautiful Pinot acidity and elegant concentration.<br />

Slender but profound. Bravo! 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

90 2019 Edesheim Forst Gewürztraminer tr.<br />

Fragrant, soft, creamy rose tones mingle with orange peel<br />

on the nose. On the palate, the orange peel comes to the<br />

fore, is mouthwatering and stimulating and provides plenty<br />

of texture. The finish is fresh and tart which suits the<br />

rose aroma very well. 12,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €<br />
