Egon Müller-Scharzhof

Producer description of "Weingut Egon Müller-Scharzhof"

The historically important winery is located in the community of Wiltingen (Saar area) in the German Moselle wine region. The origin goes back to a donation to the monastery St. Marien in the year 700. The monastery subsequently also started to grow wine in the area of today's famous Scharzhofberg vineyard. In 1037, a deed confirms the core area of today's Scharzhof as property. The name "Scharz" is first mentioned in the monastery's register of properties in 1340. After the secularisation under Napoleon (1769-1821) the estate was auctioned off in 1797. Through marriage, a part of it came into the possession of Felix Müller (1810-1888) in 1837. Under his son Egon Müller I (1853-1932) it became the sole property of the family, who brought the estate great success and renown in the following years with successful participations in world exhibitions.
