✨ Technical Specifications
The Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese Lange Goldkapsel Auction represents the absolute pinnacle of sweet winemaking from the Saar valley, a tributary of the Mosel. Produced by the legendary estate of Egon Müller, this wine is sourced from the steep, iron-rich red slate soils of the Braune Kupp vineyard, which Müller acquired through the Le Gallais estate in 1954. The 'Lange Goldkapsel' (Long Gold Capsule) designation indicates a selection of the most botrytized, concentrated grapes of the harvest, resulting in an elixir of extraordinary richness. These bottles are produced in minuscule quantities and sold exclusively at the prestigious annual VDP wine auctions in Trier. Historically, the estate's meticulous selection process and refusal to compromise on quality have cemented its mythical status, making this Riesling one of the most sought-after and collectible white wines in the world.
🍾 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.
