G. H. von Mumm - Johannisberger Mittelhölle Riesling Beerenauslese 1976 - 0,7 l

A rare 1976 Rheingau Beerenauslese from G. H. von Mumm, made from individually selected, naturally sweet Riesling grapes from the Johannisberger Mittelhölle vineyard. Its mature vintage, rich sweetness and balancing acidity make it a distinctive example of Germany’s celebrated late-harvest wine tradition—and a compelling choice for collectors or a memorable gift.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden colour, reflecting both its age and concentrated Beerenauslese style. On the nose, it offers generous aromas of ripe peach, apricot and honey, with the maturity of the vintage adding further depth and richness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and lusciously sweet, supported by refreshing acidity that keeps the wine balanced rather than heavy. The concentrated fruit character is complemented by a lingering honeyed finish. As a mature 1976 wine, it is best enjoyed now, although its condition and further ageing potential will depend on storage history and bottle provenance.

Production
Produced in the Rheingau from Riesling grapes harvested in the Johannisberger Mittelhölle vineyard, this Beerenauslese was made from hand-selected, highly concentrated grapes. The specific vinification and maturation details are not provided, but the style is defined by its rich natural sweetness, intense fruit concentration and vital acidity—hallmarks of exceptional German predicate wines.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Beerenauslese is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, apricot tart, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or washed-rind cheeses; it can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine. Decanting is generally not necessary, though carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help preserve the wine’s delicacy and avoid disturbing any sediment.

Producer
