Egon Müller Riesling Scharzhofberger Spätlese 2023

Slate and citrus pith cut through the residual sugar here, the sweetness suspended in near-perfect balance with the Saar's characteristically bracing acidity. Stone fruit, white peach and apricot carry the mid-palate, underpinned by that cool, stony minerality the Scharzhofberg delivers like no other site in the Mosel. The finish is long, pristine and faintly saline. Tightly-knit at this stage, with depth that will only reveal itself over time. Drink 2027–2040.
