Egon Muller is a member of Primum Familiae Vini, a small group of elite family winemakers, which includes Mouton Rothschild and Pol Roger, Hugel and Robert Mondavi. Muller is the only German in the group. The Mullers have been producing some of the world's most enduring wines for well over a century, Egon is considered by his peers to be Germany's leading winemaker. Riesling Kabinett is fermented mostly through the action of wild yeasts in old, thousand litres oak foudres. The wines are raised in ancient cellars which were built by mediaeval monks. The deep, very cold and damp environments make the perfect environment in which to gently age the wines, built for the long haul.
