Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan - Deidesheimer Kieselberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1921 - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Pfalz wine history, the 1921 Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan Deidesheimer Kieselberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is an exceptionally rare sweet wine from one of Germany’s most respected historic estates. Made from highly concentrated Riesling grapes selected from the Kieselberg vineyard, this 0.7-litre bottle offers a unique opportunity to experience the richness and longevity of early twentieth-century German wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as golden in colour, with an intense bouquet of ripe peaches, apricots and honey. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly sweet, supported by a refreshing balance of acidity and sweetness. A subtle mineral character leads into a long, persistent finish. As a 1921 vintage, its condition and evolution will depend greatly on storage history, but a well-preserved bottle may offer extraordinary complexity and a memorable glimpse into the ageing potential of Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese.

Production
Produced from Riesling grapes harvested in the Deidesheimer Kieselberg vineyard, this Trockenbeerenauslese represents the highest level of grape concentration traditionally associated with Germany’s sweet wines. The designation refers to carefully selected, naturally shrivelled berries, resulting in intense sugar, flavour and concentration. Specific details of the 1921 harvest and vinification are not available, but the wine’s style reflects the historic tradition of producing richly sweet, age-worthy wines in the Pfalz.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally at around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s aromas to develop in the glass. Its honeyed fruit and balancing acidity make it an excellent partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese and other mature cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or digestif. Decanting is not essential, but careful decanting may be considered if sediment is present; for such an old bottle, gentle handling is recommended.

Producer

This 1921 Kieselberg Trockenbeerenauslese stands as a rare example of the estate’s early-twentieth-century winemaking heritage.
