WINE DESCRIPTION

Egon Müller - Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned Egon Müller winery. The grapes are sourced from the Scharzhofberger vineyard, located in the Mosel region of Germany, which is known for its steep slopes and slate soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the ripest grapes, gentle pressing, and slow fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the Riesling grape. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced Spätlese with a rich, complex character, showcasing notes of ripe peach, apricot, and honey, with a refreshing acidity that makes it a perfect pairing for spicy Asian cuisine or rich seafood dishes.
