✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary Egon Müller at the historic Le Gallais estate, which the Müller family has managed since 1954, this wine represents the absolute pinnacle of Saar Riesling. The Wiltinger Braune Kupp vineyard is renowned for its steep, south-southeast facing slopes rich in dark, iron-bearing clay and slate. This unique terroir imparts a distinctively spicy, mineral character to the grapes. The 'Goldkapsel' (Gold Capsule) designation signifies an extraordinary selection of botrytised grapes, yielding a luscious, concentrated sweet wine. Bottled specifically for the prestigious Grosser Ring VDP auction, this rare 'Auktion' lot showcases the estate's commitment to traditional, non-interventionist winemaking, utilizing wild yeasts and old oak casks to achieve a breathtaking harmony of electric acidity and opulent sweetness.
🍾 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.
