Dr. Heidemanns Bergweiler (Zach. Prüm Erben) - Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel (private Reserve) 1988 'ex Chateau 2021' - 1,5 l

A rare Mosel treasure, this 1988 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel from Dr. Heidemanns Bergweiler (Zach. Prüm Erben) comes in a generous 1.5L format and carries the quiet prestige of a private reserve bottling. Sourced from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyards, it reflects the refined, age-worthy style that made Bernkasteler Doctor legendary among Riesling lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a rich golden hue that hints at its maturity and concentration. The bouquet is layered and inviting, with ripe apple and pear, honeyed tones, and bright citrus woven through a complex aromatic profile. On the palate, it is full-bodied and harmonious, balancing sweetness with Mosel’s signature lively acidity. The finish is long and graceful, with enough depth and structure to continue evolving beautifully over time, especially in large-format bottle.

Production
This wine comes from the famed Bernkasteler Doctor site in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, an exceptionally prized steep vineyard known for slate soils that help Riesling develop purity, minerality, and finesse. As an Auslese, it was made from carefully selected fully ripe grapes, harvested in small picks to preserve concentration and balance. The private reserve designation suggests especially careful cellar selection and long maturation before release.

Food & Serving
A natural match for rich fish dishes, roast poultry, and creamy or semi-hard cheeses, this wine also shines alongside lightly spiced Asian cuisine or fruit-driven desserts. Serve it well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting only if needed to gently open an older bottle.

Producer
Dr. Heidemanns Bergweiler, also known as Zach. Prüm Erben, is closely tied to the Mosel’s historic Riesling tradition and carries forward a legacy rooted in some of the region’s most respected vineyard holdings. The producer is associated with craftsmanship, classic terroir expression, and wines that have earned recognition for their elegance and longevity.
