Thrilling 2021 Egon Muller Riesling

The eponymous Egon Müller is not known for hyperbole when speaking of his wines. It's notable then for him to refer to the legendary 1971 vintage when talking of the newly released 2021 range saying “What strikes me most is the fruit purity and intensity... 2021 combines past precision with incredible fruit. Only 1971 did present similar traits." The vintage clearly struck a chord with him, and no wonder considering the press the wines have received, with both the Spatlese and incredibly rare Auslese garnering perfect scores already.

"The 2021 collection from this Estate is one for the history books. All wines are pieces of beauty." - Mosel Fine Wines

Egon Müller exists at a rare level of fame and respect in the world of wine, widely considered one of the finest producers who is at the pinnacle of quality. Where the likes of Domaine de la Romanee Conti sit at this level in Burgundy, so too Egon Müller in Germany. This is reflected not only with their unrivalled track record of excellence, but also with the prices paid for rare Egon Müller bottles at auction, including some of the most expensive white wines ever sold. Egon Müller is also the sole German member of the Primum Familiae Vini (First Families of Wine) whose other members include owners of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Chateau Haut Brion, Vega Sicilia, Pol Roger, Antinori and Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia).
