Egon Müller Scharzhof

Lars Lagerlof, vineyard manager at Egon Müller, recalls, “The summer of 2023 appeared so dry that we reduced yields to two bunches per shoot to heed against the drought and ensure ripening. Then in August and September, a lot of rain came, when it was too late to go out and spray,” which spelled disease pressure. Harvest started on September 21 and finished on October 9. “It was brief, but we had an ideal window when the sun turned up,” Lagerlod remembers, noting that some good botrytis appeared so that small quantities of higher Prädikate could be selected. Musts started fermenting very easily, right after sedimentation. The wines are simply disarming—even seductive—in their juiciness.
