Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling

Egon Muller · Mosel · Germany

Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling is an white wine from Germany, in the Mosel region (Southwestern Germany, along the steep banks of the Mosel river and its tributaries (Saar, Ruwer).), made principally from Riesling. The most famous and expensive Riesling in the world, from the steep slate of the Saar's Scharzhofberg.

In character, this premium tier delivers the classic riesling profile — apple, lime, white flowers, petrol — with the structural stamp of Mosel and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
