The 2022 Egon Müller Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese is a beautifully poised sweet Riesling from the historic Braune Kupp vineyard in Germany’s Saar region. Produced by the legendary Egon Müller estate, this wine offers a slightly broader and more generous expression than Scharzhofberger while retaining the precision, freshness and mineral character that define the region’s finest Rieslings.
The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of ripe peach, apricot and mandarin alongside notes of white flowers, honey and wet slate. On the palate, it is concentrated yet remarkably elegant, with luscious stone fruit flavours balanced by vibrant acidity and exceptional purity. The texture is silky and refined, while the finish is long, mineral-driven and beautifully focused.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for collectors and lovers of Germany’s great sweet wines. Its balance of richness and freshness makes it a superb match for blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts or lightly spiced Asian dishes. While already captivating in its youth, this wine has the structure and precision to develop gracefully over the next 20–30 years and beyond.
