Clemens Freiherr von Schorlemer (Schloss Lieser) - Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1975 - 0,7 l

A rare 1975 Mosel Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from the celebrated Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard, produced under Clemens Freiherr von Schorlemer of Schloss Lieser. Made from exceptionally concentrated grapes affected by noble rot, this is a collectible dessert wine that reflects the age-worthiness and elegance of Germany’s finest sweet Rieslings.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden hue, characteristic of its long development in bottle. Its mature bouquet combines honey, dried apricot, ripe peach and citrus with a subtle mineral character. On the palate, it is rich, sweet and full-bodied, yet lifted by vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh and balanced. A long, persistent finish brings lingering fruit, honeyed notes and a delicate mineral impression. At almost five decades old, it is ready to enjoy, provided the bottle has been well stored, while carefully preserved examples may continue to evolve.

Production
Produced from Riesling grapes in the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard on the Mosel, this Trockenbeerenauslese represents one of Germany’s highest levels of naturally sweet wine. The grapes were harvested exceptionally late at advanced ripeness, with noble rot caused by Botrytis cinerea concentrating their sugars, aromas and acidity. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this historic bottling are not available, but the style is defined by intense concentration balanced by the natural freshness of Riesling.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This wine is excellent on its own as a contemplative finale, or alongside fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese and foie gras. Decanting is generally not necessary, although carefully standing the bottle upright before serving and pouring gently can help preserve any sediment that may have developed with age.

Producer
Clemens Freiherr von Schorlemer of Schloss Lieser is associated with the Mosel’s tradition of producing refined, long-lived Rieslings. This historic 1975 bottling showcases the exceptional ageing potential of wines from the region and the concentration achieved in a Trockenbeerenauslese. As a mature and rare release, it is particularly suited to collectors and enthusiasts of historic German sweet wines.
