THE WINE

Mosel Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett by Egon Müller is made in a vineyard of the same name, one of the most famous in Germany, probably originally planted by the Romans. Located in Wiltingen, away from the Saar in a south-facing side valley, its slopes are quite steep, with a gradient of 30–60%, and steep, at 180-280 meters above sea level. Delicate wine, fresh and exquisite on the palate. Great elegance and great aging potential for this young vintage. Pure, fresh and intense mineral. Floral, fruity and mineral hints of apple, pine and wild berries. Great persistence of aromas and flavors. Excellent for special occasions, important aperitifs and as an accompaniment to fish and shellfish dishes.

THE COMPANY

Müller family has been producing wines of the highest quality since 1797, counted among the best in Moselle and in all of Germany. The company, a member of the VDP association, is led by Egon Müller and owns about 16 hectares of vineyards (98% in Riesling), including 8.3 from the famous Sharzhofberg, which stands on land with an essentially Nordic climate and rich in slate, unique for its longevity and elegance. For this historic company, the search for quality is first of all in the vineyard and is based on exceptional vineyards, low yields and the search for ideal maturity. Egon Müller's approach to winemaking is traditional and minimalist, to enhance the vineyard and the territory, with a world-famous production of Riesling, which always includes a residual sugar, respecting the traditions of the Moselle.
