The 1997 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese is a notable sweet wine from the Mosel region, produced from meticulously selected Riesling grapes influenced by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This vintage is marked by its concentrated sweetness and age potential. It reveals a complex profile of dried fruits, citrus zest and hints of honey, underpinned by a distinct slate minerality typical of the Scharzhofberg vineyard. The palate balances richness with vibrant acidity, leading to a lingering finish.
