About this Item
The estate has been in the hands of the Müller family since 1797 and, today, Egon Müller's sweet Rieslings are considered to be some of the very best in Mosel. The family-run estate owns 8 hectares of vines in the highly desirable, world-famous Scharzhofberg vineyard, including 3 hectares of ungrafted Riesling vines that were planted in the 19th century. The Müller wines are of the highest quality and, without doubt, make them one of the world’s top wine producers. The Müller cuvées are fine, balanced and authentic with the potential for many years of ageing.

Critics Ratings
'Muller's 2009 Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese A.P. #4 displays a Chenin-like concentration of pear and quince with myriad shadings of floral perfume (iris, lily-of-the-valley …) underlain by alkaline, saline, and wet stone mineral notes, as well as a silken texture and striking sense of levity. This billows across the palate in seductively, stimulatingly, almost weightlessly undulating waves of flavor, leaving you helpless to resist the next sip. I expect great things from these bottles over the next three to four decades.' - Wine Advocate, 95/100
