Description
 
The Rieslings from Egon Müller are widely recognised as amongst the very best in Germany today. He has just under 8 hectares of vines in the world-famous Scharzhofberg vineyard, which includes 3 hectares of ungrafted Riesling vines from the 19th century. Grapes are hand-harvested and then pressed without any skin contact before being fermented in large, 1000 litre oak casks in the natural, cool and deep cellars. The wines are usually bottled 6 months later. Müller`s sweet Rieslings are arguably the finest in Mosel, while his Kabinett and Spätlese wines are unusually fine and elegant. Egon III extended the winery in 1954 by purchasing Weingut "Le Gallais". This winery with 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) vines in Wiltingen, comprising the single vineyards „Kupp“ and „braune Kupp“ hailed originally from family Metz.

The 2015 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese Versteigerung is beautifully clear, precise, fine and fresh on the nose; there are fine fruit and highly delicate flinty aromas. This Auslese has great finesse and elegance on the palate, is weightless and intense at the same time. The refreshing, mouth-watering and stimulating finish is pure, precise and salty. In fact I cannot imagine a finer, even more refreshing or digestible Auslese in this style. The 2015 was auctioned for a reasonable 162.44 Euros at the Weinversteigerung in Trier in September 2016. It is not as rich and round as the Scharzhofberger Auslese Goldkapsel but a highly digestible and galvanizing masterpiece of finesse and precision. Egon Müller couldn't have done it any better.
