Bischöfliches Priesterseminar - Wiltinger Kupp Riesling Beerenauslese Goldkapsel 1976 - 0,7 l

The Bischöfliches Priesterseminar Wiltinger Kupp Riesling Beerenauslese Goldkapsel 1976 is a rare Mosel sweet wine from one of the region’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Made from hand-selected, fully ripe Riesling grapes affected by noble rot, this historic vintage combines concentrated fruit, honeyed richness and the vibrant acidity that allows great Mosel wines to age for decades.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this mature Beerenauslese shows a deep golden hue, with its exact colour and clarity depending on storage conditions. The nose is intensely perfumed, offering aromas of ripe stone fruit, candied citrus, honey and gently developed bottle-aged nuances. On the palate, it is rich and lusciously sweet, with flavours of baked fruit and honey balanced by refreshing Riesling acidity. As a 1976 vintage, it should be approached as a mature collector’s wine; its condition and remaining vitality will depend greatly on provenance and cellar storage.

Production
The wine comes from the Wiltinger Kupp vineyard in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, where steep, traditionally slate-influenced slopes and a cool climate provide Riesling with both concentration and freshness. Beerenauslese is produced from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes, including berries affected by noble rot, which naturally concentrates sugars and flavour. The Goldkapsel designation indicates a particularly special bottling, although detailed information about the individual harvest and vinification methods is not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its sweetness and acidity make it an excellent partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie, blue cheese and foie gras, while it can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative end to a meal. Decanting is generally unnecessary, but the bottle should be opened carefully and may be stood upright beforehand if sediment is present. Given its age, gentle handling is recommended.

Producer
Bischöfliches Priesterseminar is associated with the historic wine-producing tradition of the Mosel and the renowned Wiltinger Kupp vineyard. This 1976 Goldkapsel Beerenauslese represents a distinctive piece of German Riesling history and will appeal to collectors of mature sweet wines. Specific details concerning the estate’s foundation, regional achievements and the wine’s individual cellar history are not available.
