With nearly 200 years of winemaking tradition, Von Buhl has played a central role in shaping the quality and reputation of German Riesling. Established by Franz Peter Buhl, a visionary winemaker who quickly earned acclaim for the estate’s wines, it was then passed to his son, Armand von Buhl, who further elevated its reputation. The name ‘Reichsrat’ was added at a later date, in recognition of Armand’s appointment to the German Imperial Council, underscoring the estate’s stature. Von Buhl’s wines were famously served at the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, a testament to their early prestige. After decades of family ownership, the estate passed through several hands before being revitalised under new leadership in the 21st century, with a renewed commitment to quality and organic farming.

This wine captures the essence of Mittelhaardt, offering vibrant aromas of stone fruit and citrus. On the palate, a refreshing, lively flow is balanced by notable depth and structure, making for an engaging and distinctive drinking experience.
