2019 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese Le Gallais - Egon Müller, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2019 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese, Le Gallais - Egon Müller

The 2019 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Spätlese AP #5 is one of two Spätlese selections that were made in the Kupp last year. This "regular" Spätlese is clear and fine on the delicate and flinty nose that indicates perfectly ripe and healthy Riesling and Kupp aromas along with beautifully refined herbal notes. On the palate, this is a tremendously juicy, refined and salty Spätlese with vivacious yet ripe acidity and nervy mineral tension that leads to a long, complex, very sustainable finish. This is probably the finest Spätlese from the Kupp I have tasted from Egon Müller (along with the other Spätlese, which will be auctioned). Tasted from AP 5-20 in June 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2020

Mosel Fine Wines - 2019 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese, Le Gallais - Egon Müller

The 2019er Wiltinger braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese AP 05 was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. This bright yellow-white-colored wine offers a superb nose made of white peach, a hint of apricot blossom, aniseed herbs, ginger, whipped cream, and smoky elements. The wine is superbly playful and precise on the palate, where apricot-driven elements become slightly more apparent. The finish is precise, long, and elegant. The wine then leaves one with an animating feel of zest, a hint of exotic fruits, and plenty of whipped cream and white peach in the lingering after-taste. This superb fruity-styled wine will offer much pleasure already a bit earlier in its life as the sweetness is nicely integrated. 2024-2044. - Mai 2020
