Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett 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」。

Scharzhofberger Riesling是酒莊的旗艦系列，全部採用Scharzhofberger葡萄園的提子釀造。

Kabinett通常是半乾型（Feinherb），酒精度低，口感優雅輕盈，帶有清新的柑橘、青蘋果和礦石風味。是體驗Scharzhofberger風土的入門佳選。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

The 2023 Scharzhofberger Kabinett is a fabulous expression of this coolish cru where Egon Müller holds more vineyards than anybody else and certainly in the very best spots. The regular Kabinett is dense, refined and elegant on the slate-driven and still aloof nose. Savory and fresh on the first palate, with racy acidity, this is a tight and still young Riesling with ripe and concentrated fruit. Due to the coolish August last year, the Kabinett has a pronounced acidity and comes like “a fist without the velvet glove,” as Egon Müller describes it. The residual sugar is more palatable than in the Wiltinger Braune Kupp Kabinett at this stage, but this Scharzhofberger is developing slowly and should be cellared fr another 6+ years at least. Tasted from AP 03 24 in April and August 2024.
