Egon Muller

Egon Muller’s wines are generally viewed as “icons of the Riesling world” and amongst the finest white wines in the world. Current generation Egon IIII was born in 1959, in Scharzhof, studied oenology at Geisenheim, and later joined the estate – which, in 1954, was acquired by his father Egon III – in 1985.

The estate, which is in the Saar valley, has vineyards throughout the Mosel region, most famous of which are Scharzhofberger and Braune Kupp in the village of Wiltingen. The Scharzhofberg vineyard is situated southeast of the WIltingen village. Egon Muller’s 8.5 hectares – including 3 hectares of ungrafted vines planted in the 19^th century – are situated right behind the Scharzhof house and winery, where Egon and his family lives. Scharzhofberger is entirely south-facing and with altitudes ranging from 200-311 metres.  

Scharzhofberger Rieslings are fermented in large 1000 litre oak casks without any skin contact and are without a doubt some of the most sought after of all German wines, achieving higher prices at auction than any other Riesling wines and can easily age for at least half a century.

The Braune Kupp vineyard is north of the Wiltingen village and comprising 4 hectares located right where the Saar River loops between Wiltingen and Kanzem, thus creating a unique micro-climate in which the vines are protected from cold winds. The slope is dramatically steep and the wines some of the most elegant, juicy and enticing Riesling examples.
