AboutReichsrat von Buhl
Reichsrat von Buhl was founded in 1849 when the Jordan estate was divided into three wineries. Based in Deidesheim, it farms vineyards in Deidesheim and Forst, where the soils include sandstone, basalt, limestone and loam. Riesling dominates the plantings, alongside Spätburgunder and smaller parcels of Scheurebe and Rieslaner. The estate farms organically and takes part in regional nature-protection work.
Von Buhl 2009 Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling Spatlese
German White
$74.99
White flowers and chalk lead the aroma, followed by ripe peach, pear and a light touch of honeysuckle. The palate is gently sweet yet carried by clear mineral freshness, keeping the fruit precise rather than heavy. Peach and pear broaden through the middle, while the chalky line brings definition. The finish remains floral and lightly honeyed, with a clean, balanced sense of sweetness.
Reichsrat von Buhl 2019 Forst Riesling Trocken
German White
$47.99
Blood orange and light floral notes meet savoury, yeasty spice. The palate opens with a fine phenolic texture, delicate sweetness and lively acidity, then broadens through ripe yellow fruit and supple richness. Generous without losing shape, it finishes bright and composed. Serve chilled with roast pork, smoked fish or lightly spiced dishes.

German White
$109.99
Subtle, exotic yellow-fruit aromas accompany a tight, dense character, mineral salinity and a long, fresh finish. Basalt occurs at the surface, alongside red sandstone-derived soil and sandy loam, with clay and limestone about two metres below. Riesling ferments in 2,400-litre Doppelstück barrels and remains on full lees until July. The wine is filtered once and bottled in mid-August.

German Sparkling
$54.99
Bright straw in colour, with green apple, peach and flowers joined by dried fruit, lemon zest, toast and gentle spice. Dry and medium-bodied, the palate balances pear, lemon and grapefruit with light butter and brioche. Fine, persistent bubbles and lively acidity keep the texture crisp, fresh and composed through the finish.
