Egon Muller, QBA Riesling 2018, Scharzhof, Mosel Valley Germany

A descendant of a legendary wine making family, Egon Müller produces Germany’s most acclaimed Rieslings. The combination of the fantastic Scharzhofberger terroir, the greatest Grand Cru in Germany, and Egon’s genius as a winemaker, result in wines of incredible minerality, fruit, acidity and perfect balance. All Egon Müller’s wines have great ageing potential, yet are delicious when consumed young. Deploys its generous juiciness on a silken-textured, buoyant stage and without any impression of superficial sweetness. There is a sense of energy and of stone-fruit interplay as well as a sheer persistence to the finish.
