Egon Mller ‘Scharzhofberger’ Sptlese Mosel Riesling 2021

Intense minerality and delicate limey fruit that builds harmoniously to reveal incredible depth in a long crescendo of mouth-watering flavors.

The Egon Mller estate has been in the hands of the Mller family since 1797. In the Mosels steep, slate vineyards, the winemaking master Egon Mller makes breathtaking Rieslings. The estate owns 8.3 of the 28 hectares of the famous Scharzhofberg vineyard in Germanys Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. The family exploits their single-vineyard holding to the fullest, and consequently is ranked among the regions top wine producers. These wines are taut and racy, with dazzling fruit; theyre severely mineral and have an endless finish.

Egon Mllers wines are all made using estate-grown fruit from two parcels: 8.3 hectares of Scharzhof and 4 hectares of Le Gallais. The Scharzhofberg, or Scharzhof Mountain, is among the finest Riesling sites in Germany and is considered Grand Cru. As such, it is allowed to be labeled with its vineyard name, or Einzellage, rather than its village name. The Mller holdings here include a parcel of un-grafted vines that were planted in the 19th century. These wines deliver at the highest level of quality and are without question among the worlds great wines. They are fine, balanced, authentic, and enjoyable young as well as after many years of cellaring. The Mller family added to its estate holdings by purchasing Weingut Le Gallais in Wiltingen in 1954.

Egon Mller also belongs to Primum Familiae Vini, (The First Families of Wine), a small group of elite, family-owned producers where he is the only German member.
