Von Buhl Riesling QBA 2005

When it comes to top-quality Riesling there is concord amongst experts. They differ only in choice of superlative the‘most sublime’...‘most mouthwatering and elegant’... ‘aristocratic’...‘prince of grapes'.

The family-owned Von Buhl estate has been one of the finest producers of supreme quality Riesling since it was founded in 1849. Today their Rieslings consistently receive ratings over 90 points from Wine Spectator and Robert Parker. A leading German wine publication lists a Von Buhl wine amongst the best 100 in the world, and their top releases sell for £150-a-half bottle!

The vintage (very sunny with a short, early harvest) was, according to one local expert “perfect! One of the best in the last 50 years.”

Elegantly pairing Riesling’s lightness of touch with ripe, full-flavoured fruit. Luscious, not sweet, yet zippy too – and with a delightful echo of peaches and pears. Fresh and appetizing with almost any food, from salmon to chicken to cheese and fruit – even Indian and Thai curry.
