Egon Muller Le Gallais Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Kabinett 2021
White 12% ABV ABV Egon MullerStunned the whole dinner table
Brought this to a dinner party and everyone kept asking about it. There's something about the clarity of the flavours — you can really smell everything clearly before you even take a sip. At 12% it's got enough body to hold its own with richer food too. Would absolutely buy again for a special night.
Saw it on a menu, had to find a bottle
Tried this at a restaurant last month and tracked down a bottle online. It's got layers to it — not just fruity, there's a real structure there that keeps it interesting glass after glass. The acidity keeps everything balanced and stops it feeling heavy at all. Worth the splurge.
Good but not £75 good
Look, it's a nice wine. Really clean, great acidity, works brilliantly with fish. But I've had Rieslings at half the price that got me just as excited. The finish kind of fades a bit quicker than I expected for something at this level.
Finally get what the Saar fuss is about
I've been trying more German wines lately and this Wiltinger Braune Kupp was a step up from everything else I'd tried. That razor-sharp acidity running through the middle is something else. Paired it with some Thai takeaway and it was perfect.
Proper grown-up Riesling
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something German and not too sweet. It's dry, precise, and has this lovely long finish that keeps you going back for another sip. Price is steep but you can taste where the money goes.
Nice but I'm not a Riesling convert yet
My partner is way more into wine than me and picked this up. It's definitely good — really fresh and clean tasting with a finish that hangs around. I just struggle to justify this kind of money on a white wine when I'd rather spend it on a nice red.
Birthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present to myself because I'd heard Egon Muller was the real deal for Riesling. The acidity is incredible — really crisp and clean without being harsh. Honestly one of the best white wines I've had this year, though at £75 it's staying a special occasion bottle.
