Egon Müller Scharzhof - Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese Versteigerung 1993 - 0,75 l

Egon Müller’s Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese Versteigerung 1993 is a rare auction selection from one of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer’s most celebrated vineyards. Made from carefully selected, richly ripe Riesling grapes, this mature white wine combines pronounced sweetness with the vibrant acidity and mineral character for which Scharzhofberger is renowned.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting its age and concentration. Its expressive bouquet reveals ripe peach, apricot and honey, complemented by a delicate mineral impression. On the palate, it is generous and complex, with luscious fruit, balanced sweetness and refreshing acidity. A long, persistent finish brings back the stone-fruit notes alongside a fine mineral nuance. At more than three decades old, this is a mature Riesling with considerable appeal for collectors and lovers of aged sweet wines. Properly stored bottles may continue to develop, although provenance and storage conditions are especially important for a wine of this age.

Production
The grapes originate in the Scharzhofberger vineyard, a prestigious Mosel site known for its steep slopes, slate-rich soils and distinctive mineral expression. As an Auslese selected for auction, the wine was made from particularly ripe, carefully chosen Riesling grapes. The combination of noble sweetness, concentrated fruit and naturally high acidity has supported its impressive maturation potential.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 9–11°C. This Auslese is excellent with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pastries and blue or mature washed-rind cheeses, while its acidity also makes it enjoyable on its own as an aperitif. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a gentle transfer to a clean carafe can help separate any sediment and allow the wine to open if it initially seems reserved.

Producer
Egon Müller Scharzhof is one of Germany’s most prestigious Riesling producers, with a history rooted in the Scharzhof estate near Wiltingen in the Saar. The winery’s wines from Scharzhofberger are highly regarded for their purity, longevity and balance, and its rare auction selections are particularly sought after by collectors. The estate’s reputation extends well beyond the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, making it one of the defining names in fine German Riesling.
