Von Buhl Riesling

Das ist gut wein!

Von Buhl Riesling 2014

While at ProWein last year, I had the opportunity to taste so many wines that my palate could hardly contain itself. Though I went for work, I made sure to get in as many pleasure tastes as possible in my never-ending pursuit to try anything and everything at least once. However, we never made it to the Germany pavilion—if you’ve ever been to ProWein, you know it’s impossible to get to everything in just three short days. Fortunately, we were in Germany, so I grabbed a bottle in Duty Free to take home and taste.

German labeling is the most confusing of them all in my opinion, so this bottle´s rest-of-the-world friendly branding jumped out immediately in the Düsseldorf airport’s poor selection of wines. I love everything about this packaging, from the bottle shape to the art. But you certainly can’t judge a book by its cover, so how did this Riesling fare?

If I had to sum the tasting up in two words: Peachy Keen.

Since I opened this bottle with my wine-geek gals, I’ll go ahead and lay out the full tasting notes: A clear gold Riesling of medium intensity. Truly brilliant in glass. Clean in the nose with medium-intense aromas of orange blossom, citrus and stone fruits—especially peach—with hints of honey. Developing. The mouth was dry with a high acidity, medium body and a low alcohol sensation, though it’s really a medium alcohol. A medium (+) intensity with fresh peach, lemon, white flower and apricot flavors. The finish was long and quite pleasurable. A very good, mid-priced wine that is ready to drink, but can improve.

My WSET Level 3 main professor was obsessed with all things Riesling, so I’ve had the pleasure of tasting some really special German Rieslings. Was this my favorite? No, but I’d drink it again if given the chance. In fact, I would love to try this same vintage in five more years, to see if petrol notes pronounce themselves and the acidity stays strong. Shoulda, coulda, woulda bought two bottles…

A peachy-keen wine, perfect with soft, creamy cheeses, nuts and most importantly, some of your best gals.

Prost!
