✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary Egon Müller under the historic Le Gallais estate—acquired by the Müller family in 1954—this rare Riesling hails from the steep, south-facing amphitheater of the Wiltinger Braune Kupp. Unlike the cool, grey slate of Scharzhofberg, the Braune Kupp is characterized by iron-rich red slate soils, which impart a distinctively spicy, opulent, and exotic stone-fruit character to the wine. The 'Goldkapsel' designation denotes an extraordinary selection of botrytized grapes of sublime concentration, while the 'Auktion' status indicates this specific lot was reserved exclusively for the prestigious annual VDP auction in Trier. This wine represents the absolute zenith of traditional Mosel winemaking, where intense natural sweetness is perfectly balanced by a spine of electric, vibrating acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Weingut Egon Müller-Scharzhof traces its heritage to 1797 when Jean-Jacques Koch acquired the historic estate, nestled in Wiltingen along the Saar valley within Germany's famed Mosel region. Handed down across generations, the estate is celebrated globally under the stewardship of Egon Müller IV, who maintains a deeply traditional approach emphasizing pristine vineyard management, late harvesting, and minimal cellar intervention. The estate is crowned by its holdings in the legendary Scharzhofberg vineyard, home to pre-phylloxera, ungrafted Riesling vines grown on steep, slate soils. Egon Müller is globally acclaimed for producing arguably the purest, most ageworthy, and aristocratic sweet Rieslings in existence, ranging from exquisite Spätlese and Auslese to mythical, auction-commanding Trockenbeerenauslese expressions.
