Gillot & Söhne - Dienheimer Falkenberg Riesling Auslese 1964 - 0,7 l

A rare 1964 Riesling Auslese from the Dienheimer Falkenberg vineyard in Rheinhessen, produced by Gillot & Söhne. Made from selectively harvested, fully ripe grapes, this historic German white wine offers the richness, complexity and graceful balance associated with mature Auslese wines—a memorable choice for collectors and enthusiasts of aged Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its expressive bouquet brings together aromas of ripe fruit, honey and delicate spice, with the mature, layered character expected from a well-aged Riesling Auslese. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, balancing its sweetness with refreshing acidity. The finish is long, elegant and lingering. While the wine is already mature, its further ageing potential will depend on storage conditions, fill level and the condition of the individual bottle; it is best approached as a mature collector’s wine.

Production
The wine comes from the Dienheimer Falkenberg vineyard in Rheinhessen and was produced from the finest grapes of the 1964 harvest. As an Auslese, it represents a selection of particularly ripe grapes, yielding a concentrated wine with pronounced fruit character and natural sweetness. Specific details regarding harvesting, vinification and maturation are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Its balance of sweetness and acidity makes it a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and blue or mature cheeses, while its refined character also allows it to be enjoyed slowly as an aperitif. Decanting is not normally necessary, although careful standing and gentle pouring may help separate any bottle sediment; given its age, handle and open it with care.
