Egon Müller Riesling Scharzhofberger Auslese Goldkapsel 2017

Candied orange rind, dried apricot, and wet stone pour from the glass with striking intensity. Beneath the sweetness lies a driving, knife-sharp acidity that keeps everything taut, this is Scharzhofberger's gift, that deep slate-driven minerality pulling the wine back from any hint of excess. Marmalade, ripe pineapple, and a thread of white peach fill the mid-palate with magnificent density, yet nothing feels heavy or overworked. Long, pure, and impeccably balanced. Drinking beautifully now through 2045.
