Viniou Reviews

The 2018 Weingut Reichsrat Von Buhl Cuvée 1e Lage Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker is a white wine hailing from the prestigious Pfalz region in Germany. The Pfalz, known for its diverse terroir and favourable climate, is a distinguished area for viticulture. This wine comes from a vineyard known as Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker, which is renowned for producing wines with excellent character and depth. Although this specific cuvée blend is not detailed, wines from this region often include varietals such as Riesling, Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), and Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris). The 2018 vintage was characterised by warm weather, which helped in achieving ripe and expressive aromas, commonly translating to wines with full-bodied richness and vibrant acidity.

Pfalz is Germany's second-largest wine-producing region. It enjoys a rather sunny and warm climate compared to other parts of the country, ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes. The soils in this area vary from sandy to loamy with a significant limestone influence, providing the wines with a distinct mineral quality which is especially evident in white wines.

This Cuvée is best paired with dishes that will complement its complexity and balance. Given its likely freshness and aromatic intensity, it would pair beautifully with seafood dishes such as grilled sea bass, or shellfish like scallops. For a regional touch, consider pairing it with German dishes like Flammkuchen (a thin pizza-like dish with crème fraîche, onions, and bacon) or Wiener Schnitzel.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of 8-10°C. This will ensure that you experience its full aromatic potential and refreshing crispness. Consider allowing it to breathe for a few minutes after opening to let its flavours harmoniously reveal themselves.
