The sweet and dessert wine Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese, vintage 1997 from the winery Weingut Egon Müller-Scharzhof has been rated in 2007 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Riesling from the region Moselle in Germany.
Pale greenish yellow. Fine peach fruit on the nose, pleasant spiciness, initially a little reductive. Powerful on the palate and carried by a racy acidity, a hint of pineapple fruit, delicate vegetal nuances on the finish, lingers on yellow peach in the aftertaste, still needs a long time to show itself perfectly, a great promise for the future.
More about the tastingPale yellow. Full-bodied but not very brilliant bouquet, appears rather ponderous. On the palate, an annoying stream of acidity, with strange notes for the Scharzhofberg such as red bell pepper or gooseberries. Much leaner and less elegant than the previous wines in the sample, with a slightly phenolic, astringent character. The finish is even reminiscent of sauvignon blanc. Not very elegant, but racy, nervy and future-proof. Nevertheless - and especially in this sample - a disappointment.
