Egon Müller
A very good Mosel estate. The Müller family own just 7 hectares in the famous Scharzhofberg vineyard in Wiltingen, which lies on the River Saar, not far from where it drains into the Mosel, just downstream from Saarburg. The family exploit their single vineyard holding to the full, and consequently are ranked among the Mosel's top wine producers.
The estate has been in the hands of the Müller family since the late 18th century. The Scharzhofberg vineyard is typically well drained slate, and the section owned by the Müllers is dominated by Riesling, with just a small area planted up with other varieties. (28/1/02)

Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett 2000: Suggested by
Laurent Chaniac of The Cinnamon Club for a stir fry of squid with coconut and
chilli. A nice, open, petrol-tinged nose-full of fruit. Very approachable
palate, with soft acidity, showing a little plumpness. Nicely textured, and
showing a little barley sugar twist to the petrol and lime fruit. This Kabinett
is eminently preferable to the preceding trocken wines which had Spätlese
prädikat. From a
Sommelier's Choice tasting. 16/20 (May 2005)
Egon Müller Scharzhofberger
Riesling Kabinett 1998: This wine has a remarkably pale hue, almost crystal
clear, with just a tinge of green. It's fairly simple on the nose which,
although packed with a precise and well-defined aroma of juicy limes, is
somewhat one dimensional. There is a tiny hint of smoky slate in the
background. Quite elegant on the palate, just off-dry rather than sweet,
with a delicious texture. It has a clean, glacier-like freshness which
persists through to the endpalate. 16/20 (January 2002)
