Deinhard - Eitelsbacher Marienholz Riesling Auslese 1959 - 0,7 l

Deinhard’s 1959 Eitelsbacher Marienholz Riesling Auslese is a remarkable piece of Mosel wine history, offering the rare opportunity to experience a mature German Riesling from one of the region’s classic post-war vintages. Made from carefully selected, naturally sweet grapes, it combines decades of bottle age with the bright acidity that gives fine Mosel Riesling its remarkable longevity.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a luminous golden colour, potentially deepened by its long maturation in bottle. Its mature bouquet reveals layers of ripe peach, honey and citrus, alongside the complex, evolved notes expected from a Riesling of this age. On the palate, it is balanced and gently sweet, with refreshing acidity providing definition and lift. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a harmonious impression. As a 1959 bottling, it should be considered fully mature and is best enjoyed now; its condition and remaining vitality will depend greatly on storage history and provenance.

Production
The wine comes from the Eitelsbacher Marienholz vineyard in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, where the cool climate and slate-influenced soils traditionally help Riesling retain its characteristic freshness. As an Auslese, it was made from individually selected, particularly ripe grapes. Specific details concerning the harvest and vinification are not available, but the style reflects the classic German approach of balancing natural sweetness with vibrant acidity.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C to allow its mature aromas and palate complexity to unfold. It can be enjoyed with foie gras, pâté, mildly spiced Asian dishes, mature soft cheese or fruit-based desserts. Decanting is not generally necessary for an aged Riesling of this style, although carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help separate any sediment.

Producer
Deinhard is a historic German wine producer with longstanding roots in the Mosel area and a reputation particularly associated with Riesling and sparkling wine. This 1959 bottling reflects the traditional importance of Mosel Riesling and offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s historic wine culture. As with all wines of this age, careful storage and bottle condition are important considerations when assessing the experience.
