Based in Germany’s Mosel region, Weingut Egon Müller is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest white wine producers and the highly revered Scharzhofberg vineyard is the source of some of the greatest Riesling in the country. From the low-yielding but exceptional 2019 vintage, this is an exceptional release made in the incredibly sweet Trockenbeerenauslese style. Scoring it a perfect 100 points in The Wine Advocate, Stephan Reinhardt described it as “inimitable” and “incomparable” with a finish that is “nothing short of endless” and a drinking window of 2030 to 2100.

Riesling

100 Robert Parker

The 2018 Scharzhofberger Trockenbeerenauslese –Gold Capsule– (AP #12) is a perfect TBA today. White-golden in color, the nose is already seductive, with a concentrated, clear and precise fruit aroma (white peaches merging with tropical expressions such as mango or papaya) intertwined with the fascinating spiciness of the Scharzhofberg, very fine honey and raisin yet not really any botrytis tones. Enormously viscous and round on the juicy, smooth, gentle and super seductive, palate this accomplished Riesling is carried by perfectly integrated acidity and the unique, thrilling piquancy of the Scharzhofberger terroir to a soothing, perfectly balanced finish that is nothing short of endless, quoting slightly caramelized fruits. Inimitable, incomparable. Tasted several times between May and July 2020.

19 Jancis Robinson

Slightly cloudy deep straw sample from a demi-john. Savoury, toasty, extremely nervy nose with honey, acacia and something decidedly floral. There is real spine to this wine that is dangerously drinkable now. There may be exceptional tension that suggests it is worth keeping but the sheer glory of the lime syrup fruit in this featherlight wine is pretty much irresistible. (JR)

Egon Muller

King of the Mosel Valley

Broadly considered to make some of the greatest Rieslings in the world, the Egon Müller winery has been in the same family since 1797. Farming on the steep slopes of the Mosel valley, the estate owns around one third of the famous Scharzofberg vineyard, one of the region's greatest. That parcel includes three hectares of ungrafted vines - a rarity in any European grape growing region.

Extreme care is taken in the vineyard and all grapes are hand harvested. Fruit is pressed without any skin contact to preserve freshness and fermentation takes place in large, one thousand litre casks in cool cellars beneath the valley where they rest for around six months before bottling. The dry wines are clean and fresh with an unmistakable elegance while the sweeter wines (Spatlese, Auslese and TBA) offer a richness and depth of flavour that make them some of the greatest in Germany.
