Up until now, whenever there was talk of<br />

a pair of brothers making formidable<br />

wines in Freinsheim, it was clear that<br />

this talk was about Steffen and Andreas Rings.<br />

Philipp and Johannes Reibold, however, are<br />

slowly emerging as serious competitors. The<br />

brothers have run Weingut Reibold since 2012<br />

and their fifteen hectares of vines in sites like the<br />

Freinsheimer Musikantenbuckel, Grosskarlbacher<br />

Burgweg und Herxheimer Honigsack<br />

have been certified organic since 2014. We tasted<br />

a range of wines that had stature, a Riesling<br />

full of tension and a smooth Spätburgunder “Im<br />

grossen Garten” – a really strong performance!<br />

92 2019 »Im grossen Garten« Grosskarlbach<br />

Burgweg Riesling trocken<br />

Still somewhat closed on the nose; stone fruit, apple and citrus<br />

fruit, also yeast and notes of wet stone. Compact on the<br />

palate with good density and substance, tension, supporting<br />

acidity, fine phenolics and a long finish - full of character.<br />

12,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

91 2017 »Im grossen Garten« Grosskarlbach<br />

Burgweg Spätburgunder trocken<br />

Spicy and powerful nose; a touch of lovage, smoke, coffee<br />

beans, liquorice and dark berry fruit, cassis and cherry. Compact<br />

power on the palate with good extract and finely polished<br />

tannins, spicy and smooth in its flow - ambitious.<br />

13 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

88 2019 Sauvignon Blanc trocken<br />

90 2018 Chardonnay trocken<br />

Aromas of white peach, hazelnut, butter and toasted aromas,<br />

also ripe mango. Powerful and firmly built on the palate<br />

with good substance and ripe, savoury acidity. The wood<br />

slowly integrates; mango and pineapple. A lot of Pfalz and a<br />

touch of California. 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

89 2019 Chardonnay & Weissburgunder tr.<br />

Fresh apple and pear on the nose, white flowers, mirabelle<br />

plums and tangerine. Clear and tidy on the palate there is a<br />

linear structure, ripe fruit notes, juicy and fine residual<br />

sweetness. Compact structure with balanced acidity and<br />

touch of spice. Very clean style. 12,5 Vol.-%. screwcap, €<br />

90 2019 »vom Kalkstein« Riesling trocken<br />

Mirabelle plums, apple and citrus fruit and herbs on the<br />

nose. On the palate, a compact texture initially reveals<br />

juicy creaminess, ripe acidity and mineral spiciness, dry<br />

and purist; thoroughly multi-layered and multi-faceted.<br />

Sophisticated Riesling. 12,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €€<br />
