egon muller scharzhofberger riesling spatlese 2021
Reference: 102356Stock: 3 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
this german estate has simply produced one of the most expensive wines in the world. the visionary ancestor had in 1797 foreseen that this hill of scharzhofberg could one day produce elegant and pure wines. the story begins in germany in 1797, in the region of mosel-saar-ruwer, next to the border with luxembourg, when jean-jacques koch bought the farm of scharzhof from the french government and a few years later the hillside and the vines planted there, with the premonition that the characteristics of these soils were suitable for the production of great white wines. this was the birth of the estate. at his death, his daughter elisabeth, wife of felix müller, inherited the land. after several purchases and inheritances, the couple was able to double the size of the estate in the 1850s. then their son egon müller i inherited the estate. his goal was to build a reputation for the estate. he participated, for example, in the 1900 world exhibition in paris. the successions followed until egon müller iv, son of egon müller iii and current owner of the estate. today, the egon müller estate is one of the most renowned in germany and has an absolutely mythical vineyard in the saarland, whose wines are sold at a premium. located in wiltingen, this family estate comprises a large area of about five and a half hectares on the scharzhofberg slate hillside, facing south and on very steep slopes, at an altitude of between 200 and 300 meters. the vineyard is planted exclusively with riesling, with a few very old, ungrafted vines.
