Egon Muller IV

For the next installment in our series of winemaker interviews, we caught up with one of Germany's oenoligcal superstars - Egon Muller IV. If Riesling is the 'king of grapes', that surely makes Egon the 'king of Riesling'. The head of a family-owned winery that has been making the world's greatest Mosel Riesling since the late 18th century. We caught up with Egon for a quick chat on the 2020 vintage, his famous Scharzhofberg vineyard and his winemaking projects in Slovakia and Australia.

The 2018 Scharzhofberger Spätlese from famed Mosel Riesling producer, Weingut Egon Müller, is a wonderfully lush and round yet superbly balanced release. It is silky, rich and complex, imbued with the classic texture, structure and salty-mineral inflections for which this vineyard is so well known.

Kanta is a brilliant Adelaide Hills Riesling made by the Mosel legend, Egon Müller. From the cool Echunga Vineyard, which sits at 410 metres above sea level, it is made in a bracingly dry and refreshing style. Still incredibly youthful at five years old it delivers incredible waves of tart apple, lemon, peach, dried flowers and slight hints of smoke, with pinpoint precision and finesse. This could easily age for another 3-5 years but would be superb now alongside fresh oysters or seafood.

Trockenbeerenauslese is a classification of wines produced from sweet shrivelled Botrytised grapes. They are exceptionally concentrated, sweet and long-lived, but are also particularly rare. Egon Müller is one of the greatest producers of sweet Riesling and this is a marvellously complex mature wine from a sensational Mosel vintage.
