Von Buhl has been making remarkable Pfalz wines, supped by statesman and royalty alike, for the last 170 years. German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck chose the estate’s Riesling to toast the 1869 Suez Canal opening. Indeed, this wine's name comes from Bismarck’s exclamation on tasting the 1873 vintage: “Ungeheuerlich gut!” – “Monstrously good!” The estate is blessed with exceptional vineyards – 8 Grands Crus and 6 Premiers Crus. So good in fact, it made head winemaker of Bollinger give up his prestigious post to make wine at Von Buhl. Today his great work is continued by Gregor Hofer. Ungeheuer's complex basalt, sand and clay soils lend terrific minerality and zip to this great Riesling, while very low yields adds intensity. Superb to cellar.
