Egon Müller - Scharzhof QbA 2019
Weingut Egon Müller is located in the Saar Valley sub-region of the Mosel in Germany. The estate was established in 1797, when Jean-Jacques Koch bought the Scharzhof farm from the French Republic. His daughter married Felix Müller and the estate has been in the same family ever since. The current owner is Egon Müller IV, who studied at the best winemaking university in Geisenheim. A large part of the Scharzhofberg vineyard (8.5 hectares), located on the gray schist slopes facing south behind the Scharzhof house and winery, forms the heart of the Egon Müller estate. He works exclusively with the Riesling grape variety and the wines are produced at different levels of maturity: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, and Auslese Goldkapsel in the best years. If conditions allow, sweet Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein are also produced.
