🏰 The 2019 Reichsrat von Buhl Forster Freundstück Riesling GG hails from a German vintage remembered for its very high quality, with critics hailing 2019 as "Germany's breakthrough vintage" and "the best vintage I have ever tasted for German Riesling in my four-decade career." Despite a hot and dry summer with heat waves, a crucial cooler period in August helped maintain excellent acidity and produce balanced wines. The Pfalz region, in particular, was thrilled with the balance and structure of its ripe, dry wines, which exhibit intense aromas and good balance with attractive, refreshing acidity. Reichsrat von Buhl, a historic family-owned winery since 1849, is renowned for its terroir-dominated, timeless style and commitment to organic viticulture, certified since 2009. Their winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, and long lees contact, resulting in clear, mineral-driven wines built to last. Forster Freundstück, a Grand Cru site in Forst, is characterized by black basalt soils, which typically yield smoky, mineral, and taut Rieslings. Expect a wine that shimmers with a light gold color and silver-green highlights, offering crisp green apple, white peach, pear, and faint pineapple aromas, alongside a flinty, rocky component. The palate is lively with a squeaky-clean centerline of acidity, mouthwatering flavors of melon and citrus zest, honeysuckle, and salt, culminating in an elegant and racy finish. This wine is a pleasure to drink now and will develop gracefully for decades. 【A world-class dry Riesling from a historic organic estate, hailing from Germany's "breakthrough vintage" of 2019, offering exceptional balance, ripe fruit, and vibrant acidity from the mineral-rich Forster Freundstück Grand Cru.】 🍴 This vibrant and mineral-driven Riesling GG is incredibly versatile.
