Müller's Kabinetts are studies in fineness, raciness, and complexity. Their beauty leaves you speechless.
Müller's Auction Kabinett takes all of this and kicks it up to an unheard-of level.
Across the range, Müller's are simply extraordinary. Still, there's a quality to the Kabinetts that's special, especially so for the Auction bottling.

As many people have noted, at the Trier auction last September, Müller's 2019 Kabinett sold for more than his Spätlese. No doubt this is a signal of just how profound and singular the Kabinett Auction bottling is.
Sourced from old vines, the Kabinett Auction combines intensity and weightlessness in a way that's completely unique. It's hard for us to think of any other wine that pulls this off. It's a heartbreaking, utterly compelling combination. The 2018 Kabinett Auction is a study of grace and ultra-detailed and refined minerality.
The Scharzhofberg vineyard, recognized since 1000 A.D. as a superior site for growing grapes, produces wines of incredible concentration and intensity with a structure built for aging.
Even in this context, in Müller's hands, this inherently first-class site reaches a shockingly elevated level. When I think about holy marriages between grower and site in Germany, Müller and his Scharzhofberg is the first example that comes to mind.
There are stories abound of Müller's Kabinett drinking well at 30+ years. There's little doubt that in the decades to come the 2018 Kabinett Auction will be one of the crown jewels of the vintage.
