Scharzhofberger is one of the world's great wines.
It's hard not to be in awe of Egon Müller. From his Scharzhofberg vineyard, Müller crafts the most consistently magical Rieslings on the planet.

No one manages to combine intensity and a seemingly miraculous weightlessness the way that Müller does. In any vintage, the Scharzhofberger Spätlese is particularly noteworthy for its gripping presence, detail, and poise.
We're very excited to offer Müller's 2020 Scharzhofberger Spätlese. We expect this to be a show-stopping wine. The wines that we've tasted from the Mosel and the Saar show an amazing interplay of density and steely verve. The wines combine a tactile mineral presence with cool-toned fruits and beautiful freshness.
I'll wrap this up. Müller's brilliance is well known. The 2020 Spätlese is an incredible example of Müller's magic.

Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese AP 06 was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It proves still quite reduced at first (smoke, marine herbs and sea breeze, and bacon driven scents) before gradually revealing its amazingly complex nose made of spices, white flowers, vineyard peach, cassis, mint lozenge, orange peel, apricot, and star fruit. The wine proves intense and beautifully focused on the intense yet impeccably balanced palate. Despite all the intensity and complexity at play, the wine remains stunningly fresh and light-footed right into the finish. The minute-long aftertaste is all about deep citrusy fruits and spices. This Spätlese is an incredible success!"
