Scharzhofberger Riesling Spatlese 2020 Vintage Overview

2020 OVERVIEW

Scents of spring flowers and stone fruit lead in this 2020 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese, followed by layers of ripe white peach, quince and honeydew gliding across a silken, feather-light palate. Vivid, laser-like acidity keeps the natural sweetness impeccably balanced, carrying a long, cooling finish with hints of mint and delicate herbal spice that signal tremendous energy and refinement for long-term aging.
