Egon Muller Scharzhof Riesling Qualitatswein 2023

【德國酒王——Egon Muller】

傳奇酒莊 – Egon Muller

Egon Muller被譽為德國最頂尖、最具傳奇色彩的葡萄酒莊之一，尤其以其出產的Riesling甜酒聞名全世界。酒莊位於德國Mosel產區的Saar沿岸，擁有得天獨厚的微型氣候與板岩土壤，是釀造世界級雷司令的聖地。酒莊由Müller家族世代相傳，至今已超過數百年歷史。

雷司令的「風土聖殿」 – Scharzhofberg

Scharzhofberg是Saar產區中最有名的葡萄園，也是Egon Müller的「靈魂領地」。葡萄園總面積約28公頃，其中約8.5公頃由 Müller家族獨佔。其陡峭的南向板岩坡地，能充分吸收陽光，同時在秋季清晨形成霧氣，非常利於「貴腐菌」（Botrytis cinerea）的生成，這是釀造頂級甜酒的關鍵。它以極致的風土表現、頂級雷司令的產出能力，被譽為「德國雷司令的精神原鄉」，更是全球葡萄酒愛好者心中的「風土聖殿」。

Egon Müller Scharzhof 是一款非單一園的酒款，使用Scharzhofberg相鄰葡萄園的果實混釀而成，品質依然非常高，但價格相對親民，是體驗Egon Muller風格的另一種選擇。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

Egon Müller’s excellent 2023 Scharzhof Riesling blends the fruit from three different sites, where the Saarburg Rausch plays the dominant part followed by the Witlinger Braunfels and the Rosenberg, both neighboring the famous Scharzhofberg. The bright colored wine opens with a ripe yet elegant and delicate Saar Riesling aroma with its fine and spicy slate notes. Round, juicy and actually ample on the palate, this is a savory and persistently saline Saar Riesling that becomes lean and focused on the finish. It is exuberant, long and complex as well as balanced and frisky. Tasted at the domaine in April and August 2024.
