August Anheuser - Kreuznacher Brückes Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1971 - 0,7 l

A rare and beautifully mature German sweet wine, the 1971 August Anheuser Kreuznacher Brückes Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is a remarkable example of the Nahe’s capacity for producing intensely concentrated, age-worthy Riesling. With more than five decades of bottle age, it offers a special opportunity to experience a historic vintage in an exceptionally luxurious style.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its expressive bouquet suggests ripe peach, apricot and honey, with the mature richness expected from a distinguished Trockenbeerenauslese. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly sweet, yet remains elegant and balanced by refreshing acidity. The fruit and honeyed character is supported by a graceful, lingering finish. Already fully mature, this is a wine to enjoy now; further ageing will depend greatly on the bottle’s storage conditions and provenance.

Production
Made from Riesling in the Kreuznacher Brückes vineyard in Germany’s Nahe region, this Trockenbeerenauslese represents one of the most concentrated and rarest styles of German dessert wine. The designation traditionally refers to individually selected, highly concentrated grapes, often affected by noble rot, and the wine’s rich fruit, sweetness and balancing acidity reflect that style. Specific details regarding harvesting, fermentation and maturation are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 8–10°C, allowing its mature aromas and generous sweetness to unfold. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or mature cheeses, while its complexity also makes it rewarding to serve on its own as an aperitif or after-dinner wine. Decanting is not usually necessary, but careful opening and gentle pouring may help remove any sediment from this mature bottle.

Producer
August Anheuser is the named producer of this historic Nahe Riesling. The estate’s Kreuznacher Brückes Trockenbeerenauslese offers an evocative glimpse into the region’s tradition of producing rare, long-lived sweet wines.
