All Muller Auslese have botrytis. Beautifully poised wine. So delicate and light but so delicious. — 9 years ago
Some background: Muller-Thurgau is a crossing between Riesling and Madeline Royale. It was once Germany's second most planted variety (as of @ 11 years ago). The variety suffered in status as the grape is easy to grow, and was often used in making plonk... but the Muller-Thurgau from Rainer Sauer is as elegant and mineral-driven as it is approachable.
On the nose, you get lime, sea spray and some grapefruit....which reflects on the palate. The wine also has a fine-grained beeswax-y texture, a tad like Chenin Blanc. Dry, with good lift and minerality. All in all, a terrific food wine. I paired this (with some hesitation) with Chorizo tacos from 4th St Market in Santa Ana, but man, did it go! I was worried about this wine not being able to handle the spice, but... beautiful pairing. It also went with their ceviche. All in all, quite good. 12% abv. — 9 years ago
This was the last wine of the day it came after Burgundy, Bordeaux , Syrah, Cab franc , Eiswein, Auslese and somehow this erased them from my palate memory. In this case Muller was not a winemaker but a magician. He managed to make every attribute contained in this wine stand up and shout but never allowed a single component to hog the spotlight. If I got rid of all my wine except this would I be unhappy?, honestly I have to think about it. — 10 years ago

Multiple sites. Great balanced acidity, not as much individuality as some of the other muller wines. — 9 years ago
Slight peach, moderate acid, very platable — 9 years ago

Yummy muller typicity, but not over the top. — 10 years ago
Piercing acidity and the kind of steely minerality that makes my eyes squint are hallmarks of quality Riesling from this region, this wine is a nervy bundle of that, with buckets of quite sophisticated-tasting lime juice - almost Gimlet-like. Nice concentration. — 11 years ago
Perfect with Thai food! — 11 years ago

Beauty of all Rieslings. Made by the German Egon Muller Chateau Bela boosts with all the qualities of top class Riesling -vibrant acidity balanced by wonderful scale of aromas. With gastronomic feast of Czech food at La Degustation Boheme in Prague, this wine rocks! — 13 years ago
