2017 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Auslese
The 2017 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Auslese is a premium sweet Riesling from one of Germany's most renowned producers. Sourced from the prestigious Scharzhofberg vineyard in the Saar subregion of Mosel, this wine showcases the exceptional quality and aging potential characteristic of Egon Müller's wines. The Auslese designation indicates a late harvest selection of very ripe grapes, resulting in a wine with concentrated sweetness balanced by the region's typical high acidity.
