95 James Suckling -
Read
Powerful and dramatic yet sleek and polished, this has acidity that's both bright, lemony and mineral. Better from 2018 and has long-term ageing potential.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The GG's from Von Buhl are just stunning. We have but a few cases of this incredible elixir that will travel through your body like a strike of lightning. We love this stuff, especially with a touch of bottle age on it!
About the Producer
Since its founding in 1849, Reichsrat von Buhl has stood for some of the noblest Riesling from the best vineyards of Mittelhaardt. Born of the bequest of Andreas Jordan's vineyards to his children; Ludwig Andreas, Josephine and Margaret, Reichsrat von Buhl grew by the marriage of Armand Buhl to Juliane Schellhorn-Wallbillisch, the daughter of a Forster winemaker. After the death of the childless Frieda Piper von Buhl, the winery passed to George Enoch von und zu Guttenberg. From 1989 to 2013 the winery was leased, during which time it was sold to Achim Niederberger who installed a new team to run his estate in 2013. This is a very brief summary of the long and exciting history of Reichsrat von Buhl. Today these are some of the most exciting dry Rieslings being made in the world.
