Description
Egon Müller wines are renowned worldwide. This estate's legendary reputation is based primarily on its noble sweet wines. These possess unparalleled aging potential and surpass many red wines. Legendary wines with worldwide renown include those from 1997 and 1999. Egon Müller-Scharzhof wines are so sought-after that they fetch record prices annually at the Trier wine auction, and Parker and Suckling's ratings are often very close to the 100-point mark.
The total vineyard estate covers 8 hectares, of which 7 hectares are located in Scharzhof. The famous vineyard, Wiltinger Braune Kupp, is entirely owned by Egon Müller. The wines from this estate bear the name "Le Gallais."
In 2000, there was a changing of the guard. Stefan Fabian took over as cellar master from Horst Frank. Winemaking at Scharzhof is very traditional and minimalist, meaning that 100% of the quality is created in the vineyard. Minimal intervention in the cellar allows the terroir to fully express itself. Egon Müller's philosophy still resonates: quality is created in the vineyard, creating the finest wines.
The Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Kabinett 2021 is sparkling and pale in the glass with a light lime-green color. On the nose, the Scharzhofberger Kabinett is crystal clear and precise, with a pure, fresh, and highly refined and complex nose. Opulent yet precise, and incredibly spicy and saline on the palate, it has crisp notes of white (stone) fruit and mineral notes from the iron-rich gray slate soils that readily absorb residual sugar, leaving the palate simply exciting and saline. This is a lively, delightfully saline and spicy Riesling of remarkable precision, finesse, and elegance, with a picture-book suspense for Kabinett. The finish is highly stimulating and incomparable.
