Gillot & Söhne - Oppenheimer Reisekahr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1909 - 0,7 l

Gillot & Söhne’s 1909 Oppenheimer Reisekahr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is an exceptionally rare German dessert wine from one of the highest traditional Prädikat categories. Produced from intensely concentrated, naturally shrivelled grapes, this historic Rheinhessen Riesling offers both remarkable sweetness and the freshness needed for balance. Its age, provenance and limited availability make it a fascinating collector’s bottle as well as a wine for a truly special occasion.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, consistent with its great age and concentration. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of mature fruit, honey and delicate spice. The palate is rich, sweet and full-bodied, yet lifted by lively acidity that keeps the wine balanced rather than heavy. A long, elegant finish completes the tasting experience. As a bottle from 1909, its condition and evolution will depend greatly on storage and fill level; it is best approached as a mature collector’s wine with considerable historical character.

Production
Trockenbeerenauslese is made from individually selected grapes that have become highly concentrated through late harvesting and natural dehydration, often with the influence of noble rot. The process produces exceptionally sweet must with pronounced fruit intensity and acidity. Specific vineyard, harvesting and vinification details for this historic bottle are not available, but the wine reflects the traditional pursuit of maximum ripeness associated with premium Riesling production in Rheinhessen.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing its mature aromas and balance to develop in the glass. It can be enjoyed on its own as an after-dinner wine or paired with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or strongly flavoured cheeses. Given its age and rarity, decanting is not usually necessary; instead, open it carefully and pour gently, with a small amount reserved to assess the wine before serving.

Producer
Gillot & Söhne is the named producer of this historic Rheinhessen bottling. The wine’s Oppenheim designation places it within one of the region’s traditional centres of Riesling production, while the 1909 vintage provides a remarkable link to the early history of German Prädikatswein. Detailed historical information about the producer and this specific bottling is limited, so the bottle’s principal significance lies in its exceptional age, rarity and classic Trockenbeerenauslese style.
