Scharzhof Riesling QBA 2022

The Egon Müller Scharzhof QBA 2022 is a world-class wine crafted by one of Germany’s most respected winemakers. Sourced from the legendary slopes of the Mosel, this vintage captures the essence of what the Scharzhof vineyards have to offer. The grapes are meticulously harvested and transformed into a wine that balances finesse with intensity, highlighting the terroir-driven minerality for which the Mosel region is renowned.

Tasting Notes: This wine presents an elegant bouquet of fresh citrus and white flowers, with subtle hints of green apple and a delicate spicy minerality. It offers a finely tuned balance between acidity and sweetness, creating a light yet complex drinking experience. As it opens in the glass, it reveals more layers of flavor and a refined texture.

"The 2022 Riesling Scharzhof was harvested in Saarburg, Wiltingen and Oberemmel and fermented spontaneously, half in stainless steel, half in Fuder. The nose has subtle yeast notes but comes across as very fresh, with hints of green apple and lemon and a slightly flinty flicker. The palate is exquisitely light and gently sweet. Herbal notions like yarrow and tansy join in with the lemon and the juicy, tart apple fruit. Much length with this weightlessness. (Off-dry)"
