The Auslesen are obtained from ripe, golden yellow and from rusty grapes. Here there is a natural concentration of all flavours. Auslese often taste like dried fruits such as dates, figs or raisins, but also like dried peach and apricot. Mostly Auslesen are sweet wines. Only in rare cases do we offer dry and delicate selection.

Ripe pear and lime wreathed in buddleia and lily-of-the-valley make for an alluring nose and then lusciously inform a seductively creamy, delicate palate. Smoky black tea and incisive fresh ginger lend invigoration to a finish that sensationally extends the wine’s intense pure fruit, along with a liquefaction of its floral perfume. Why no stars? Apparently Müllen thought this wine was beyond all that. He was right.
Pale golden yellow with a greenish tinge. Rich, smoky aromas of yellow plum, quince and sweet herbs. Unctuous apricot fruit given shape by bright, salty minerality. Juicy, generous and crisp on the persistent finish. At once rich and vibrant, this is one of the finest off-dry rieslings.
A surprisingly bright, zesty evocation of apple, lime, grapefruit and pineapple marks both the penetrating nose and the vibrant palate of this fresh-fruit concentrate. The texture, though, is glossy and reinforces an impression of richness to accompany the wine’s tangy and invigoratingly sharp elements. A tongue-tingling, electrically charged finish such as is seldom encountered from 2018 suggests enormous potential for a wine that has yet to reveal latent mineral or savory dimensions. I cannot imagine being disappointed by a bottle opened today – I certainly wasn’t – but patience will surely be rewarded.
