From Egon Müller's Le Gallais estate on the storied Braune Kupp vineyard—adjacent to Scharzhofberger—this 2017 Auslese selects botrytis-affected berries from steep slate soils. Traditional Fuder barrel fermentation in cool Scharzhof cellars captures the Saar Valley's mineral tension and 2017's ripe concentration through low yields and precise sorting.
