Riesling
Roll over: Weingut Egon Müller crafts the most consistently magical Rieslings on the planet.
The 2021er Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese is a sweet wine with an absolutely stunning nose made of cassis, a hint of pineapple, ginger, whipped cream, minty herbs, and smoky elements. The wine proves incredibly finely balanced on the palate, where pear sorbet joins the party and adds to the zingy yet nicely focused in the finish. What makes this wine so special is the incredible purity and finesse that comes out of the glass. The finish seems endless, intense, and yet so incredibly airy and subtle despite a not shy presence of (juicy) acidity. Spätlese does not get better than this. 2036-2061 100points

The 2021er Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese is a sweet wine made from botrytized fruit. It offers a superb even if still slightly reduced nose
made of bergamot-infused herbs, pineapple, ginger, starfruit, white peach, pear, and a hint of apricot blossom. The wine proves beautifully filigreed
yet packed with fruity-driven flavors on the palate. It leaves a pure and ethereal feel in the absolutely stunning finish. This great Auslese has even
some upside potential as it integrates its acidity backbone in the long finish. 2031-2061 95+/100 - Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines

The 2021er Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Kabinett is a fruity-styled wine with a subtle nose of peach, citrusy fruits, herbs, and a hint of creaminess and apricot blossom. The wine proves incredibly playful and precise on the palate, where its creamy side is wrapped into beautiful acidic and fruity elements. The finish is simply stunningly pure, focused, and silky. A kick of acidity then provides the right freshness and elegance to the aftertaste. This Kabinett is a huge success! 2029-2041 94/100 - Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines

A cool and gentle fragrance combines delicate aromas of sweet apple and citrus fruit with just a dusting of icing sugar. Egon Müller does not do trocken, but the Scharzhof Gutswein makes a little concession to the drier side of Saar Riesling with what others would call feinherb on the label. Restraint in fruit means there is more room for spices and a little mineral dust to tingle the taste buds. Jancis Robinson.com
Roll over: Dry River Riesling, dry style, is about chasing purity, transparency and a tension between acidity, sugar and texture.
The aromatics are plenty and varied. Citrus flowers, lime and lemon zest, with riper honeysuckle, pear and nectarine. There are also unexpected, more herbal notes like fennel and crushed basil.
The extra bit of ripeness is helping with the approachability of our Riesling. This brings a more seamless cooperation between the acidity and tannins and, ultimately, a smoother “flow” of the wine from start to finish. The wine is very coherent and creative, where the triangle of acidity, sugar and extract is dynamic and active. This gives a playful wine that is fun and interesting to drink. - Dry River

An exhilarating fragrance intrigues with a fresh combination of apple and lime. The Braune Kupp oozes with juice, fresh apple, lime and orange just the vanguard of subtle fruit flavours, an exotic tactile spice tickles the taste buds.

Enticing perfumed fragrance combines persistent aromas of apple and citrus fruit with delicate floral nuances and a hint of spice. On the palate, ripe apple and a hint of orange are well seasoned with a spicy piquancy and just a dash of brown sugar. Jancis Robinson.com
