Egon Muller "Wiltinger Braune Kupp" Riesling Auslese 2021, 750ml

Wiltinger Braune Kupp is a lesser know monopole of Egon Müller bottled under the Le Gallais label. Farmed since 1953 the vineyard is located in the Saar region, with steep slopes (50–60%), slate soils mixed with fine clay, and a south-facing position that helps ripening. The nearby Saar river creates a sheltered microclimate, protecting vines from cold winds. 100% Riesling and aged in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Note:

The 2021er Auslese is a sweet wine made from botrytised fruit. It offers 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 flavours on the palate. It leaves a pure and ethereal feel in the absolutely stunning finish.

Residual sugar 90-120g/l
