The stately vineyard at Scharzhofberger covers some thirty hectares of challenging, steeply sloped terrains, its perfect exposures mark it as an exceptional Riesling site without peer. Egon Muller IV retains a quarter of this invaluable terroir, much of the fruit is allowed to achieve a perilous level of ripeness before harvest. The pick of crop is set aside for bottling as a deeply indulgent Spätlese, endowed with wickedly intense fruit sugars and toothsome esters, to be enjoyed in its youth with the most regal desserts, or after a term of bottle age, alongside consommé and the finest cheese.
