✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deep in the Saar valley, a tributary of the Mosel, lies the legendary Scharzhofberg vineyard, widely regarded as one of the greatest white wine terroirs on Earth. Cultivated since Roman times and once managed by the medieval monastery of St. Pauli, the estate was acquired by the Müller family in 1797 following the French Revolution. Here, Egon Müller crafts 100% Riesling masterpieces that defy time. The Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese is born from late-harvested grapes, frequently touched by noble rot (botrytis), grown on steep, weathered grey slate slopes. Fermented in traditional neutral oak fuders, the wine achieves a sublime tension between luscious, honeyed sweetness and a crystalline, electric acidity. The specific 'Nr' designations, such as the highly coveted Nr. 20, represent exceptional auction-grade casks or Goldkapsel bottlings that showcase the absolute pinnacle of botrytised complexity and concentration.
🍾 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.
