Typical of Egon Müller’s wines, this is light in body, but titanium-strong in structure, welding rather tart, lemony fruit to stony, minerally notes and embellishing it all with the merest hints of riper, apple-y fruit. It’s just off-dry, with great persistence and lipsmacking appeal.

Light and zesty—but maybe a little too light, as the lemon-lime and gingery flavors don’t come across with the strength and precision expected at this estate. Fresh, tart and cleansing on the finish—a Riesling for shellfish.

Give this wine a vigorous decanting if you are going to drink it young, as it does have some sulfury, leesy notes that initially detract from its light floral aromas. Light-bodied, with apple, citrus and earth flavors and a long finish. Gets a lot better with air, so this rating may seem conservative in five or ten years.

Very perfumed and floral, with added scents of lime and strawberry. On the palate, slaty, stony notes and lime flavors balance the considerable sweetness, ending long and stridently tart. The crisp acids give this the backbone to age 10 or more years.

Prevailing lemony, citrus-cocktail aromas with hints of almond macaroons. Though medium sweet, it is lip-smackingly crisp and racy, with zesty citrus flavors following through on the palate. Moderately intense and reasonably taut, if a little austere.

Superstar Egon Müller has at least kept his basic Riesling at an affordable level. At first, it’s almost odorless, but give it a chance to develop in the glass and delicate apple, fern and lime notes emerge. A hint of CO2 adds to the impression of lightness, and the wine finishes crisp, racy and clean. A finesse-filled wine likely best in its youth.
