Made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes, this 0.7-litre bottle combines concentration, freshness and the character of a vintage with genuine historical interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine presents a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its complex bouquet suggests mature orchard and dried fruits alongside honeyed notes, warm spices and subtle tertiary nuances. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, balanced by a pleasing line of acidity that keeps the sweetness harmonious. The finish is long and lingering, with the depth expected from a well-made Beerenauslese. Given its age, the bottle’s condition and storage history are especially important; if well preserved, it may offer a fascinating mature drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrittenheimer Apotheke is a renowned vineyard site on the Mosel, known for steep, slate-influenced slopes and a favourable microclimate for producing concentrated Rieslings. Beerenauslese is made from individually selected, very ripe grapes, often affected by noble rot, which naturally concentrates sugars, aromas and flavours. The wine’s richness is balanced by Riesling’s characteristic acidity, helping it develop over many decades. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this 1949 bottling are not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the mature aromas to open in the glass. Its sweetness, acidity and concentration make it a natural partner for foie gras, pâté, fruit-accented poultry, mildly spiced dishes and mature or blue cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative dessert wine. Decanting is not essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help separate any sediment; a short period of aeration in the glass is generally preferable for such an old wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bischöfliches Priesterseminar is a historic ecclesiastical wine producer associated with Trier and the Mosel wine tradition. Its wines reflect the region’s long-standing connection between religious institutions and viticulture, particularly in the production and preservation of Riesling from distinguished vineyard sites. As a 1949 bottling, this wine is best appreciated not only for its style but also as a surviving document of Mosel winemaking from the post-war era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bischöfliches Priesterseminar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617101173073,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000141","price":845.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000141.png?v=1787088942","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/bischofliches-priesterseminar-trittenheimer-apotheke-riesling-beerenauslese-1949-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
