Egon Müller

Phenomenal 2018s by
the Riesling legend and guardian-protector of
Scharzhofberg

Egon
Müller IV

The
slopes of the Scharzhofberg had been known for the
quality of its wines for centuries, but it was the
Müller family that assured the estate’s place among
the great white wines of the world from the 1950s
onwards . .
— Decanter
It has been hailed as the pinnacle of
Saar Riesling since 150 years, selling its casks at
prices rarely topped by others. Its wines from the
Scharzhofberg are revered the world over. Some honor
it as “the Romanée-Conti of Riesling”, and this not
without reasons. Or is Romanée-Conti the Egon Müller
of Pinot Noir? Such is the reputation of this Estate . .
— Mosel Fine Wines
What Müller does with Scharzhofberg is
magical. He renders the site beautifully clear, with
a steely finesse and indisputable nobility . .

From the Mosel’s steep, slate vineyards, the
winemaking master Egon Müller makes breathtaking Rieslings.
The estate owns 8.3 of the 28 hectares of the famous
Scharzhofberg vineyard in the Saar region.
The Scharzhofberg, or Scharzhof Mountain, is amongst the
finest Riesling sites in Germany and is considered Grand
Cru. As such, it is allowed to be labeled with its vineyard
name, or “Einzellage”, rather than its village name.
The Müller holdings include a parcel of ungrafted vines that
were planted in the 19th century. These wines deliver at the
highest level of quality and are without question some of
the world’s greatest wines. The wines are taut and racy,
with dazzling fruit; they are intensely mineral and have an
endless finish. They are fine, balanced, authentic, and
enjoyable young as well as after many years of cellaring.
Today, we are thrilled to be able to offer a small parcel of
his legendary wines from the much beloved and celebrated
2018 vintage, as well as a few precious bottles from 2017, a
dedicated collectors’ choice vintage. These are
reference-class German Rieslings bar none and definite
cellar treasures that will continue to reward for decades.
These magnificent Riesling collectibles are offered
ex-cellar Singapore and are in-stock now. All order requests
will be processed subject to remaining availability and
final written confirmation. No further discount. Full
settlement is required to confirm orders.

Scharzhof
Riesling QbA
2018
|
S$ 85 / 750 ml
|
“The 2018er Scharzhof comes
from the Estate’s holdings in the Wiltinger
Braunfels, Wiltinger Rosenberg and
Saarburger Rausch and was fermented down to
off-dry levels of residual sugar (28 g/l).
Slightly reductive at first, this wine
delivers a beautiful nose of pear, yellow
peach, spices, aniseed herbs and smoke. The
wine proves deliciously fruity and creamy on
the palate, and develops some zesty fruits
in the fresh and light finish. The
after-taste proves superbly spicy and smoky,
and quite long.” MFW 90

S$ 80 / 750 ml

“The 2017er Scharzhof comes
from the Estate’s holdings in the Wiltinger
Braunfels, Wiltinger Rosenberg and
Saarburger Rausch, and was fermented down to
approx. 40 g/l of residual sugar. It offers
a beautiful nose of white peach, green
apple, flowers, passion fruit, spices and
herbs. The wine is stunningly playful and
delicately creamy on the palate and leaves a
ripe and rich but also delicately zesty feel
in the long and ethereal finish. This
amazing wine ranks among the finest
Scharzhof bottlings ever.” MFW 92

Scharzhofberger
Riesling Kabinett
2018
|
S$ 149 / 750 ml
|
“The 2018 Scharzhofberger
Kabinett (AP #2) is brilliant, clear and
coolish on the nose, with cold, wet and
clayey yet also crunchy slate aromas and
bright fruit. Lush and precise, with
lingering salinity and mineral expression,
this is a complex and structured
Scharzhofberger Kabinett with great aging
potential.” WA 92+

Scharzhofberger
Riesling Spätlese
2018
|
S$ 272 / 750 ml
|
“The 2018 Scharzhofberger
Spätlese offers a very fine and delicate,
coolish, precise and flinty bouquet with
bright and elegant fruit notes. On the
palate, this is a finessed, beautifully
round and lush yet filigreed Spätlese with
sensual, silky-textured fruit and a long,
complex, well-structured and salty-piquant
finish. A gorgeous classic from the
Scharzhofberg.” WA 94-95

Scharzhofberger
Riesling Auslese
2018
|
S$ 800 / 750 ml
|
“The 2018 Scharzhofberger
Auslese (AP #8) is coolish, clear, intense
and concentrated on the flinty and even
rocky nose with its crunchy notes of broken
slate and lemon juice. On the palate, this
is a generous, highly elegant and refined,
beautifully balanced and salty-crystalline
Auslese with concentrated but detailed,
elegant fruit, finely grained minerals and a
long, complex finish. An impressive, great
vin de terroir.” WA 97
|
|
Also available –
Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese 2017 |
S$ 789 / 750 ml
|
“Egon Müller's 2017
Scharzhofberger Auslese (AP #7) offers
fascinating crunchy, perfectly ripe, almost
oily Riesling and dark slate aromas with
some iron and herbal notes. This nose
represents perfect ripeness, and that’s what
you get on the palate: a lush, crystalline
and flinty, mouthwateringly salty, fresh and
piquant Riesling of great class, complexity
and style. Gosh, this is a beautiful and
seductive Scharzhofberger of which I wish I
had a fuder in my cellar. Absolutely
marvelous and a must-taste (or have).”
