Chateau Bela (Egon Müller) Trockenbeerenauslese, Slovakia 2017 500ml

Château Belá is an ancient property situated in Slovakia on the banks of the Danube River. The first vines were planted by the Romans and today Riesling grapes are grown on the hills below the castle and vinified by Miroslav Petrech and Egon Müller.

In 2001, owner Countess Ilona Von Krockow joined forces with renowned German winemaker and cherished family friend, Egon Muller. Together, they embarked on an ambitious mission-to put Slovakian Riesling on the global wine map. They renovated the cellar, and to ensure the highest level of excellence, they called on the expertise of admired winemaker Miroslav Petrech.

With the combined passion of Countess Ilona, Egon Muller, and Miroslav Petrech, Chateau Bela has become a beacon of winemaking brilliance, producing some of Slovakia's most extraordinary Rieslings.
