Egon Muller's wines are generally viewed as icons of the Riesling world and amongst the finest white wines in the world. The current generation, Egon III, was born in 1959 in Scharzhof and studied oenology at Geisenheim. He joined the estate in 1985, which was acquired by his father Egon III in 1954. The estate is located in the Saar valley and has vineyards throughout the Mosel region, including the famous Scharzhofberger and Braune Kupp vineyards in the village of Wiltingen. The Scharzhofberger vineyard is situated southeast of the village, with altitudes ranging from 200 to 311 meters. The estate's 8.5 hectares, including 3 hectares of ungrafted vines planted in the 19th century, are situated behind the Scharzhof house and winery, where Egon and his family live. Scharzhofberger Rieslings are fermented in large 1000-liter oak casks without skin contact.
