Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett 2022

The famous Saar estate has been in the hands of the Müller family since 1797 and they currently own just over 8 hectares of the stellar Scharzhofberg vineyard, the Saar’s most qualified contender for the title of great growth, challenging the famous sites of the Middle Mosel with ease. Egon Müller's single vineyard holding is dominated by Riesling though a small patch is planted to other varieties and he consistently produces wines of incredible purity, line and detail from the slate soils of the famous vineyard. Egon Müller is the sole German member of the Primum Familiae Vini whose other members include Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Vega Sicilia, Torres, Pol Roger, Antinori and Hugel & Fils.

Riesling is a white wine grape variety that is grown in many regions around the world, but it is particularly associated with Germany and Alsace, France. Riesling wines are known for their high acidity, minerality and a wide range of styles. They can range from dry and crisp with green apple, citrus, and mineral notes to sweet and honeyed with flavors of apricot, peach, and nectarine. The sweetness level in Riesling depends on the ripeness of the grapes, and winemakers can choose to make dry, off-dry, or sweet styles.

Riesling wines are considered to be very versatile, they pair well with a wide range of foods, particularly seafood, sushi, and spicy Asian cuisine, as well as a wide range of cheeses.

Riesling wines are known for their aging potential, and many high-quality German Rieslings can be aged for many years and still retain their complexity, balance, and freshness. It's also worth mentioning that the grape is known for its ability to express the terroir, meaning that Riesling wines from different regions can taste quite different from one another, even from one side of a mountain to the other.
