Weingut Egon Muller is arguably the final word in great Riesling wines. Muller makes nothing but Riesling and sources fruit exclusively from two estate properties at Wiltingen, the first growth Scharzhofberg and the prestigious Le Gallais vineyard. One of the most fortuitous winegrowing sites in the Rhineland, it contains two blocks of old vines, Kupp and Braune Kupp, which yield the finest fruit. In some vintages, the Riesling from these splendid sites can rival the grace and complexity of wines grown to the eminent Scharzhofberger Einzellage.
Light golden straw. Exotic nose of sweetly scented citrus, stonefruits and banana with florals and fragrant Bäckerei notes. Medium bodied palate exhibiting fine minerality and chalky acids in support of the rich, complex Riesling fruit characters, lime, honeysuckle and slate. Drinks beautifully on release and evolves magnificently.
