Weingut Egon Müller has been in the hands of the Müller family since 1797 and is world renowned for producing breath-taking Riesling from their exceptional Mosel vineyards. The 2018 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Auslese is rich and ripe on the nose with incredible lemon oil purity and complex stoney minerality. On the palate it is rich, rounded and intense but tightens on the finish to provide remarkable carry of flavour.
