G. H. von Mumm - Johannisberger Hansenberg Riesling Eiswein-Auslese 1969 - 0,7 l

A rare 1969 Riesling Eiswein-Auslese from Johannisberg Hansenberg in the Rheingau, produced by G. H. von Mumm. Harvested from grapes picked at freezing temperatures, this historic sweet wine combines remarkable concentration with the freshness that allows mature German Riesling to age gracefully. A distinguished bottle for collectors and lovers of traditionally made dessert wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep golden colour, reflecting its age and concentration. Its mature bouquet is complex and inviting, with aromas of ripe and dried fruit, honey and delicate spice, accompanied by the evolved character typical of a well-cellared Riesling Eiswein. On the palate, it is richly sweet and full-bodied, balanced by a pleasing acidity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering fruit, honeyed notes and spice. At more than five decades old, this is a mature wine best enjoyed now, although suitable storage may allow it to develop further.

Production
Made from Riesling grown in the Johannisberg Hansenberg vineyard in the Rheingau, the wine reflects the region’s tradition of producing finely balanced, naturally sweet wines. As an Eiswein-Auslese, the grapes were harvested in a frozen state, concentrating their sugars, flavours and acidity before being pressed and carefully fermented into a richly sweet wine. The fruit was selected from the finest grapes of the 1969 vintage.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C to balance its sweetness and preserve its aromatic freshness. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pastries and blue or mature cheeses, and can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative final course. Decanting is generally unnecessary; instead, open carefully and allow the wine a short time in the glass to reveal its mature aromas.

Producer
G. H. von Mumm is a historic name in German wine, with longstanding ties to the Rheingau and its celebrated Riesling tradition. The producer’s wines are associated with the region’s classic styles, including concentrated, naturally sweet expressions from distinguished vineyard sites. This 1969 Johannisberger Hansenberg Eiswein-Auslese offers a particularly evocative glimpse into the character and craftsmanship of Rheingau wine from a historic vintage.
