✨ Technical Specifications
The Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Beerenauslese (BA) Auktion is a legendary sweet nectar crafted by the iconic Egon Müller estate. The Braune Kupp vineyard, situated on a steep, south-facing amphitheater along the Saar River, has been under the stewardship of the Müller family through the Le Gallais estate since 1954. Known for its unique soil of iron-rich red slate and clay, the vineyard yields Riesling with a distinct spicy minerality and structural power. This Beerenauslese is made from individually hand-selected grapes shriveled by noble rot (botrytis). Released exclusively through the prestigious VDP Trier Wine Auction, this rare bottling represents the absolute pinnacle of Mosel winemaking, combining luscious honeyed sweetness with the piercing, vibrant acidity characteristic of the cool Saar valley.
🍾 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.
