Weingut Egon Müller is widely considered one of the world’s finest white wine producers and the highly revered Scharzhofberg vineyard is the source of some of the greatest Riesling in the country. The 2018 Auslese is a stunning wine of remarkable intensity, concentration and purity of flavour. It is generous, beautifully elegant, impeccably balanced and has extraordinary aging potential.
