Wine from Pfalz

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The NV von Buhl Reserve Brut is based on two-thirds Pinot Blanc and one-third Chardonnay. The sparkling wine displays a bright golden color and opens with an intense, fresh and elegant bouquet with lemon aromas intermixed...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Very lemony and flinty, this is quite a sleek and seriously mineral dry wine with a long, deep finish. Better from 2018. Screw cap closure. - Stuart Pigott

Vinous, 90 points: Subdued on the nose compared with its generic counterpart, this ultimately proves both more rarefied and more engaging. Juicy lime and grapefruit are suffused with basil and mint, with hints of blackcurrant emerging on a...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: As bright as a supernova, this is an extraordinary wine that makes me dream of goose liver and roquefort cheese. Like peach-essence with a ton of lemon zest, this is staggeringly concentrated, but so pure and clean...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Mind-boggling purity and brilliance make the enormously concentrated mango, papaya and dried-apricot aromas light up like fireworks in the sky. What a breathtaking finish. Sure you can drink it now, but long experience...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Deidesheimer Mäusehöhle Riesling (AP 2216) opens with a pure and refreshing, rather coolish aroma (compared to the Leinshöhle) of ripe yellow fruits intertwined with stony aromas. Round, fresh and elegant on the...

Vinous, 96 points: Sage, marjoram and white pepper practically assault the nose in a fashion that signals “Pechstein” before it suggests “nobly sweet,” although hints of candied lime and glazed pineapple do anticipate the ennobled, sweet...

Vinous, 90 points: This leans toward the earthy, mealy, smoky aspects of its site, but with lemony brightness laid alongside. The feel is full, firm and polished. Sweaty salinity serves for saliva-inducement on a finish of serious grip...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A super-elegant Auslese with stunning mango aromas. If you're not afraid of acidity then this wine will light your fire. Stunning brilliance at the very long straight finish. Drink or hold a long as you like. Very limited...

Vinous, 93 points: A mingling of elusive vegetable, fruit and earthy elements rises from the glass. A fascinating, rich meld of roasted, lightly caramelized rutabaga with muskmelon, quince and orange informs this bottling’s expansive...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Offers rapierlike focus and acidity to the concentrated and explosively fruity green apple, white cherry and jasmine flavors. Dried sage and chamomile notes linger on the powerful, well-structured finish, showing some...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: More open-hearted and generous on the nose, with floral notes and white tea aromas intertwined with ripe stone fruits and weathered stone, the 2017 Riesling (Gimmeldinger) Mandelgarten "VDP. Erste Lage" is a lush and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Intense citrus-colored and almost golden, the wild-fermented 2013 Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling trocken GG is very rich and creamy on the somewhat untamed nose showing yeast and lime flavors along with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Noble oaky flavors intertwined with a perfume of ripe stone fruits, lemons, herbs and crushed stones open to the very deep, complex and concentrated 2015 Königsbacher Idig Riesling Trocken GG. This full-bodied, powerful...
