While harvest is still underway in Germany, the latest arrivals from Reichsrat Von Buhl, have hit the warehouse. One of the Pfalz's most storied estates, founded back in 1849 by Franz Peter Buhl, Von Buhl's approach remains traditional and quality-focused under the guidance of former Bollinger winemaker Matthieu Kauffmann. This includes: organic vineyard practices, careful sorting, minimal sulphur, large 2,400L oak casks, extended lees contact (even at entry level), and no pumping anywhere in the winemaking. The Pfalz Riesling Trocken 2024, is a stunning value and the perfect introduction to the juicy, crunchy house style. Then the Deidesheimer Riesling Trocken 2024, sourced from two classified sites, give us much more depth and character. Finally the striking Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten Riesling Trocken 2024, from this famed VDP Erstes Gewächs site, is well and truly worthy of its 'grand cru' GG status. It's deep, layered, mineral and with a finish that goes on forever.
