Winemaker Notes
This a perfectly clear sparkler with cool pit fruit and fine notes of brioche on the nose. With fresh acidity, a firm palate and a creamy, piquant finish, this is an exceptional bubbly.
Best paired with salmon with horseradish as well as beef tartar with capers and all salty dishes.

Wine Enthusiast
In this elegant bubbly, well-knit, mouthwatering acidity enlivens ripe fruit flavors of white raspberry, ginger biscuit, lemon zest and chalky minerality. It offers a round, delicate finish, with a lively, lingering thread of exotic spice.

Reichsrat von Buhl has been a family-owned winery for more than 150 years, and has belonged to the circle of the most prestigious wineries in Germany for just as long. Since it was founded in 1849, Reichsrat von Buhl has made its wines in a terroir-dominated, timeless style that has never been oriented to fashion, but always to the grapes’ origins in the best soils of Deidesheimer and Forster. Reichsrat von Buhl is certified organic, and is an active ambassador of both natural, sustainable viticulture and of the best German wines. Since 2013, it has been led by a new team and technical director Mathieu Kauffmann. Long term viticultural manager Werner Sebastian remains responsible for the vineyards.
Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
This sunny and relatively dry region served for many years as a German tourist mecca and was associated with low cost, cheerful wines. But since the 1980s, it has gained a reputation as one of Germany’s more innovative regions, which has led to increased international demand.
