Egon Müller Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett 2020
White
Mosel Saar, Germany

WineSaint
Slate and crushed stone set the tone immediately, with white peach, lime zest, and a thread of fresh herbs woven through. There's surprising phenolic grip here for a Kabinett, taut and focused, with acidity that cuts clean and long through a pure, translucent finish. Intellectually satisfying now, but give it 5–7 years and it will repay the patience handsomely.
