Domdechant Werner'sches Weingut - Hochheimer Rauchloch Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1951 - 0,7 l

A remarkable 1951 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet from Domdechant Werner’sches Weingut, sourced from the renowned Hochheimer Rauchloch vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau. With more than seven decades of bottle age, this rare sweet wine offers a captivating glimpse into the heritage of historic German Riesling and is a compelling choice for collectors and lovers of mature wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its complex bouquet combines honey, ripe peach, apricot and citrus with a delicate touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, balancing pronounced sweetness with a refreshing thread of acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with layers of mature fruit and honeyed character. As a 1951 wine, it should be considered fully mature; its condition and storage history will be decisive, although well-preserved examples can remain deeply rewarding.

Production
The wine was made from grapes harvested in Hochheimer Rauchloch, one of the Rheingau’s historic vineyard sites, and is identified as a Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet. The available information does not specify the exact harvesting or vinification methods, but the style traditionally relies on highly concentrated, late-harvested grapes selected for their exceptional ripeness and noble sweetness.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine time to open in the glass. Its sweetness and mature complexity would complement foie gras, blue cheese, pâté, fruit-based desserts and refined pastries, while also making it a memorable meditation wine. Decanting is not essential for such an old bottle; if sediment is present, careful standing and a gentle decant immediately before serving are recommended.

Producer
Domdechant Werner’sches Weingut is associated with Hochheim in the Rheingau, a historic centre for Riesling production on the banks of the Main. This bottle represents the region’s long-standing tradition of producing ageworthy, noble-sweet Rieslings, while its 1951 vintage gives it particular significance as a preserved example of post-war German wine heritage.
