The Egon Müller estate has been operated by the Müller family since 1797. In the Mosel’s steep, slate vineyards, the winemaking master Egon Müller makes breathtaking Rieslings. The estate owns 8.3 of the 28 hectares of the famous Scharzhofberg vineyard in Germany’s Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. Their single vineyard wines are consistently ranked among the region’s top wine producers. These wines are taut and racy, with dazzling fruit; they’re severely mineral and have an endless finish. Egon Müller’s wines are all made using estate-grown fruit from two parcels: 8.3 hectares of Scharzhof and 4 hectares of Le Gallais. The Scharzhofberg, or Scharzhof Mountain, is among the finest Riesling sites in Germany and is considered Grand Cru. As such, it is allowed to be labeled with its vineyard name, or “Einzellage”, rather than its village name. The Müller holdings here include a parcel of un-grafted vines that were planted in the 19th century. These wines deliver at the highest level of quality and are without question among the world’s great wines. They are fine, balanced, authentic, and enjoyable young as well as after many years of cellaring. The Müller family added to its estate holdings by purchasing Weingut "Le Gallais" in Wiltingen in 1954.

The story of the Bassermann-Jordan winery is the story of a family dynasty which, together with others, established and greatly influenced quality-based viticulture in Germany for almost 300 years. Each generation produced great personalities who used their intelligence, expertise and flair as well as their financial and political influence to safeguard and improve the reputation of the winery and the outstanding wines produced in the Palatinate area of Germany – until they ended up among the top echelon of the wine world.
As respected politicians they have contact with the most influential personalities of their times and contribute greatly to the improvement of the legal and regulatory framework concerning viticulture. As patrons of the arts, they donate valuable objects to a variety of museums and render outstanding services to preserve the cultural heritage of the Palatinate region. As scientists, they work on improving wine-growing methods and write the definitive book on the history of viticulture. As experts in viticulture, they neither spare costs nor efforts to consistently develop their skills, their knowledge and the quality of their estate.

It is said that you can taste the land where the grapes are grown in wine, and never is this truer than in the wines of
Germany's Rhine River valley. The soil in the area is rocky and the weather tends to be fairly temperate. These
conditions of soil and temperature give the region's wine its characteristic mineral notes, as well as providing the acidity
that balances out the flavors of the wines.
Rheinhessen lies in a valley of rolling hills, bordered on the west by the Nahe River and on the north and east by
the Rhine. This 20 by 30 mile area between the winegrowing communities of Worms, Alzey, Mainz and Bingen is
the largest of the German winegrowing regionsand its production is second only to that of the Pfalz. Rheinhessen's
climate is relatively mild. The region receives about 20 inches of rain per year, and temperatures are moderate.
