✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Scharzhofberg is arguably the most famous vineyard in Germany's Saar valley, where the Egon Müller estate has crafted legendary Rieslings since 1797. The estate's history is deeply intertwined with the secularization of church properties during the French Revolution, when the Müller family acquired the historic estate from the monastery of St. Pauli. The Scharzhofberg vineyard itself is a steep, south-facing slope composed of weathered grey slate, featuring a cool microclimate that allows Riesling grapes to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity. The 'Auslese Goldkapsel' is a rare, highly prized bottling made only in exceptional vintages, representing a meticulous selection of botrytis-affected grapes harvested by hand. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in traditional neutral oak casks, this 100% Riesling is a masterclass in tension, balancing luscious sweetness with a piercing, mineral-driven acidity and notes of white peach, honey, and wet stone.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Historien bag Weingut Egon Müller-Scharzhof strækker sig tilbage til 1797, hvor Jean-Jacques Koch erhvervede den historiske ejendom i Wiltingen, beliggende i Saar-dalen i Tysklands berømte Mosel-region. Vingården er gået i arv gennem generationer og har i dag opnået verdensry under ledelse af Egon Müller IV. Han værner kompromisløst om de stolte traditioner med fokus på minutiøst markarbejde, sen høst og minimal indgriben i vinkælderen. Juvelen i kronen er husets parceller på den legendariske Scharzhofberg-mark, hvor ældgamle, rodægte Riesling-vinstokke fra før vinlusens tid klamrer sig til de stejle skråninger af skifer. Egon Müller hyldes på verdensplan for at skabe nogle af klodens absolut reneste, mest lagringsværdige og aristokratiske søde Riesling-vine – fra udsøgte Spätlese- og Auslese-aftapninger til mytiske, rekordbrydende Trockenbeerenauslese-sjældenheder.
