Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett Mosel

Mosel Wine Region, Germany

Egon Müller's estate occupies the Scharzhofberg — one of Germany's most legendary vineyards, rising steeply from the Saar tributary of the Mosel on deep blue Devonian slate. The Kabinett is the most accessible tier of the estate's portfolio — a wine of extraordinary delicacy and minerality: almost transparent in colour with aromas of lime blossom, river stone, white grape, and the famous 'crushed slate' mineral that defines Scharzhofberg. The lightest expression of one of the world's greatest wine estates.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The great German asparagus-Riesling pairing at its finest — Scharzhofberg's delicacy and mineral freshness with white asparagus and hollandaise in the spring tradition that defines German wine culture
• main: Scharzhofberg Kabinett's delicacy and mineral purity are at home with sushi's restraint; the off-dry character bridges raw fish's brine with the wine's slate minerality
