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.

Given that this reflects very ripe material backed by over 90 grams of residual sugar, it’s amazing how much of the cress-like, green herbal aspect of the site, so prominent in this year’s Kabinetts, is on hand here as well, even on the nose. But those aspects are tempered by a glossy, subtly creamy texture, and allied to a jellied expression of white peach and pear that reflects the extreme ripeness and the bit of botrytis involved. The finish is lusciously persistent yet invigoratingly nippy and consummately refreshing. David Schildknecht1st July 2020
