Scharzhofberger Kabinett, Weingut Egon Müller 2017

This 2017er Scharzhofberger Kabinett was harvested at well over 90° Oechsle and fermented down to 45 g/l of residual sugar. It offers a gorgeous nose with residual scents from spontaneous fermentation, white peach, elderflower, cassis and herbs. The wine develops a gorgeous and delicately ripe feel with Spätlese creamy presence on the palate. The finish is engaging and subtly racy. The after-taste is lively and driven by peach and flowery elements. This is a beautiful fruity wine in the making with slightly more presence than the usual Kabinett from Egon Müller. It is however a smasher of a “light Spätlese”, with plenty of upside potential if it retains its focus at maturity. 2027-2047
