Egon Müller Scharzhof - Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese 1999 (AP-Nr. 21) - 0,75l

Egon Müller’s Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese is sourced from one of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer’s most celebrated vineyards, renowned for producing some of Germany’s finest sweet Rieslings. The 1999 vintage combines remarkable age, concentrated fruit and the estate’s signature balance of sweetness, acidity and mineral precision, making it a distinguished choice for collectors and lovers of mature Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden colour, reflecting its maturity and richness. Its expressive bouquet reveals ripe peach, apricot and honey, complemented by the subtle mineral character associated with the Scharzhofberger vineyard. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with generous sweetness held in balance by vibrant acidity. Layers of stone fruit and honey lead to a long, elegant finish with a refined mineral note. Already mature and highly enjoyable, it may continue to develop further in bottle when properly stored.

Production
The grapes come from the steep Scharzhofberger vineyard, whose slate-rich soils and cool Mosel-Saar climate help create Rieslings of both concentration and remarkable freshness. The Auslese was made from carefully selected, hand-harvested grapes, allowing the wine’s natural ripeness and aromatic intensity to shine through while preserving the acidity essential to its longevity.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This mature Auslese is excellent with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or mature cheeses, while its balance also allows it to be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or contemplative glass. Decanting is generally not necessary, although carefully opening the bottle shortly before serving can help reveal its full aromatic complexity.
