Reichsrat von Buhl

18 August 2017

Deidesheim is home to two of the best wineries in Pfalz and Reischsrat von Buhl is one of them. Since its founding in 1849, Reichsrat von Buhl has stood for some of the noblest Riesling from the best vineyards of Pfalz in southern Germany. Von Buhl also specialises in creating top quality Sekt. Underlined by the fact that they hired the former cellar master - Mathieu Kauffmann - from Bollinger in 2013.
