Every bottle drunk of Müller-Catoir is a love letter. There is a visceral experience with these wines, like a pumice stone, a rough surface to a smooth finish. These aren't razor edged wines, forcing a point of view, they are edgy with secrets to share with those who are willing to listen. This historic estate has had hundreds of years and plenty of talented winemakers have garnered it critical acclaim. But never have they rested on their laurels, even now, with some of the most careful farming and strictest selection of grapes from anywhere. Whether dry or sweet, Riesling or Pinot Noir, young or old the stark minerality of these wines will bring you back for more.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95
"From the Breumel parcel comes the 2004 Haardter Burgergarten Riesling Spatlese, a wine of purity, elegance and refinement significantly surpassing the wines that went before it. Aromas and flavors of yellow plum, quince, lemon, apricot, malt, sage and orange blossom are just a few of the highlights I met while trying to decide whether to spit. The rarified sense of lift and lightness and dance-like interplay of flavors along with honeyed richness, the hint of caramelized pit fruits and creaminess along with invigoratingly salty minerality all carry through to a finish of extraordinary class and length." -Robert Parker

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
