Tasting notes
The 2023 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Kabinett opens clear and bright on the stunningly coolish and filigreed nose that certainly also displays delicate slate aromas. It is openhearted yet also fascinatingly refined and built up from ripe and concentrated fruit. Dense and savory on the palate, this is a substantial Kabinett from vines planted in the late 19th century and that were partly renewed in 1994 and 2015. It is a spicy, energetic and remarkably complex Kabinett with a lot of substance and ripe acidity. It is very long and not really sweet in taste. This is a gorgeous Kabinett from a warmer monopole where Egon Müller cultivates four hectares of vines, half of which is leased. Although fermented in the Scharzhof like all the wines from Egon Müller, it comes with another label and the addition Le Gallais. Tasted form AP #2 in April 2024.

The 2023 Riesling Wiltinger Braune Kupp Kabinett comes from the slightly richer, deeper, iron-rich soils of this site. An open nose offers aromas of red apple peel and tangerine, almost veering into blood orange. The palate is immensely light and juicy, boosting its tangerine credentials with aromatics and acid bound together, filling mind and senses. The finish is pure and long.
