Freiherr Langwerth von Simmern - Hattenheimer Mannberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1971 - 0,7 l

Freiherr Langwerth von Simmern’s Hattenheimer Mannberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1971 is a rare Rheingau treasure, made from exceptionally concentrated Riesling grapes from one of the region’s most prized sites. Crafted in a style reserved for the most extraordinary harvests, it represents both the finesse of German dessert wine tradition and the remarkable longevity of a great vintage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Trockenbeerenauslese shows a deep golden hue that speaks to its age and concentration. The bouquet is intensely expressive, with layers of ripe stone fruit, honey, dried fruit, and gentle spice, all wrapped in a rich, mature complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and lusciously sweet, yet beautifully lifted by vibrant acidity that keeps the wine poised and elegant. The finish is long and persistent, with a subtle mineral note that adds freshness and depth. Thanks to its structure and concentration, this wine has exceptional aging potential, though its 1971 vintage already offers the kind of mature complexity collectors seek.

Production
Produced in the Hattenheimer Mannberg vineyard in the Rheingau, this wine benefits from a classic German terroir shaped by river influence, steep slopes, and mineral-rich soils. The Trockenbeerenauslese designation indicates that the grapes were harvested berry by berry at extraordinary ripeness, likely affected by noble rot, to achieve maximum concentration and sweetness. Vinification would have been careful and precise to preserve aromatic purity, balance, and the wine’s remarkable natural acidity.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed slightly chilled, this wine pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese, or simply as a медitative wine on its own. It also works wonderfully as an aperitif for those who appreciate sweetness and complexity. Decanting is generally not necessary, but gentle opening ahead of serving may help the aromas unfold in the glass.
