2021 Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese

Breathtakingly pure and refined, these rieslings are captivating in the glass with soaring aromatics, richness and power in spades but all that breadth and power is delivered onto the palate with a fine, sateen texture that’s threaded with a filagree strand of acidity. There’s an ethereal quality to the wines that can silence a table and make any adjectives you throw at them seem puerile. The old iron fist in the velvet glove alogy seems to only go part way here. For those who share an obsession for pursuing the world’s greatest wine experiences, this is what we chase.
