ScharzhofbergerAuslese–2018–WeingutEgonMüller

Scharzhofberger Auslese 2018 is an iconic German white wine produced by Egon Muller

A 100% Riesling cuvée from old vines planted on schist, fruit of the famous Scharzofberger vineyard and its extreme slopes. The soil is ploughed up to six times a year, harvesting is done by hand, and yields are controlled. Auslese signifies a late harvest wine obtained under exceptional weather conditions which have notably produced botrytised grapes. Vinification is non-interventionist, with direct, quick pressing, settling after 24 hours, and maturation in barrels on fine lees. A confidential cuvée… this is why Muller’s wines represent the quintessence of Riesling throughout the world.
