Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling-Kabinett, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Egon Müller is one of the most respected names in German wine, with an unbroken family legacy at the famed Scharzhof estate on the Saar since the late 18th century. The Scharzhofberger vineyard is among Germany’s finest sites, its steep, slate-rich slopes producing Rieslings of remarkable balance and longevity. The Kabinett style from this vineyard has become a benchmark: light in body yet carrying an intensity of fruit and mineral character that only Mosel-Saar-Ruwer can deliver. Winemaking here is deliberately traditional, with fermentation taking place in both old oak and stainless steel, thereby preserving the clarity and precision of the vineyard. Each vintage offers aromas of orchard fruits, citrus zest, and a distinct wet-slate minerality, supported by bright acidity. The palate typically combines ripe apple and lime with subtle floral notes and a gentle sweetness, finishing long, fresh, and finely structured. A true standard-bearer for German Riesling at its purest.
