Committed to its legacy, the winery emphasises the expression of terroir, blending tradition with organic winemaking practices. Today, Reichsrat von Buhl continues to produce wines that reflect the purity and character of its vineyards.

🍷 Appearance: It is medium lemon-coloured, with fine, persistent bubbles flowing elegantly in the glass.

👃 Nose: The nose is captivating, offering a rustic charm with an array of autolytic aromas such as freshly baked biscuits, bread dough, and brioche. Delicate notes of lemon and pear and hints of noble spices complete the complex bouquet.
