August Anheuser - Kreunacher Krötenpfuhl Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1947 - 0,7 l

The 1947 August Anheuser Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is a rare historic sweet wine from Germany’s Nahe region. Produced from exceptionally concentrated Riesling grapes, this mature dessert wine offers remarkable complexity, richness and length—an intriguing choice for collectors and lovers of fine, aged German Riesling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of honey, ripe apricot, peach and citrus, with the evolved complexity expected from a mature Trockenbeerenauslese. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, balanced by a pleasing acidity that keeps the sweetness harmonious rather than heavy. The finish is long and lingering, with returning notes of honeyed fruit and citrus. As a 1947 vintage, it is fully mature; its condition and further development will depend greatly on storage history, ullage and bottle provenance.

Production
Trockenbeerenauslese is made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes, often affected by noble rot, which concentrates both sugar and flavour. Riesling from the Nahe is valued for combining richness with lively acidity, allowing wines of this style to mature gracefully over many decades. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this historic 1947 bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally at around 10–12°C, allowing time for its aromas to open in the glass. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and pâtisserie with apricot or peach. Given the wine’s age, careful opening and gentle pouring are recommended; decanting is not essential, but a brief decant may help separate any sediment if present. A delicate, clean glass is preferable to preserve its mature aromas.

Producer
August Anheuser is the producer associated with this historic Nahe Riesling from the Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl vineyard. The 1947 vintage represents an important era in German wine history and offers a rare opportunity to experience a mature, traditionally styled Trockenbeerenauslese. Detailed historical information about the estate and the original bottling is limited, so storage conditions and provenance are particularly important when assessing a wine of this age.
