The 2024 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese is an exceptional sweet Riesling from one of Germany’s most iconic vineyards and producers. Sourced from the steep, slate-rich slopes of the Scharzhofberger vineyard in the Saar, this Auslese represents a remarkable combination of fruit concentration, freshness and mineral precision, showcasing the elegance and longevity for which Egon Müller is renowned.
The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of apricot, white peach and ripe citrus alongside notes of orange blossom, honey and crushed slate. On the palate, it is rich yet remarkably refined, with concentrated stone fruit flavours balanced by vibrant acidity and extraordinary purity. The texture is silky and seamless, while the finish is long, focused and intensely mineral, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a world-class Riesling for collectors and lovers of Germany’s finest sweet wines. Its balance of richness and acidity makes it a superb match for blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts or spicy Asian cuisine. While captivating in its youth, this wine has the structure and precision to evolve beautifully over the next 20–30 years and beyond.
