Von Buhl’s entry-level wine is drawn from the estate’s great sandstone-rich vineyards around the villages of Deidesheim, Forst and Ruppertsberg. All the vineyards are certified organic. In the cellars, most of the juice is naturally fermented in tank, with some parcels fermented in Von Buhl's oval dopplestück oak casks. Even at this level, the wine’s upbringing includes extended lees aging (six months on gross lees). There is no pumping, and very low sulphur additions. This is a juicy, mineral-rich Riesling, with the extra palate weight of the vintage proving a perfect foil for the rocky texture, mouth-watering, citrus-edged acidity and near-absolute-dry finish. It will, as always, work wonders by the glass (and bottle).

The Domäne Serrig Kabinett 2020 is a beautifully crafted wine from the renowned Mosel region in Germany. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Domäne Serrig, is a true testament to the quality of German winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a pale straw colour with hints of green, reminiscent of the vibrant and lush hills of Mosel. On the nose, delicate aromas of crisp green apple, juicy pear and zesty citrus dance playfully, intermingled with subtle floral notes. On the palate, the wine is elegant and refined, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Crisp flavours of green apple and pear are complemented by hints of lime and nectarine, leading to a clean and refreshing finish. Overall, the Domäne Serrig Kabinett 2020 is a delightful representation of the terroir of Mosel. It is a must-try for any lover of German wines, and will surely leave a lasting impression.
