J. B. Becker - Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1976 - 0,7 l

J. B. Becker’s Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1976 is a rare Rheingau treasure, offering the kind of concentration and finesse that only exceptional botrytized Riesling can achieve. Crafted from hand-selected grapes from the sun-drenched slopes of Wallufer Walkenberg, it stands as a remarkable example of Germany’s classic sweet wine tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a deep golden color with amber reflections, hinting at its age and richness. The bouquet is intense and layered, with aromas of dried fruit, honey, caramel, and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied and luscious, yet beautifully lifted by vibrant acidity that keeps the sweetness in balance. Flavors of apricot, peach, orange marmalade, and candied fruit linger on a long, elegant finish, and the wine still has the structure to continue developing gracefully over time.

Production
This Trockenbeerenauslese comes from the Wallufer Walkenberg vineyard in the Rheingau, an area known for producing expressive Riesling wines with strong mineral character and excellent ripening conditions. The grapes were harvested by hand at extreme ripeness, with only individually selected berries used, then matured carefully in oak casks to build depth, texture, and complexity.

Food & Serving
Best served slightly chilled, this wine is a superb match for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese, or pâté, and it can also be enjoyed on its own as a luxurious aperitif. A serving temperature of around 8–10°C is ideal, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a gentle opening in advance can help the aromas unfold in older bottles.

Producer
J. B. Becker is a respected Rheingau producer known for traditional winemaking and a strong focus on Riesling in its many classic expressions. The estate has built a reputation among collectors and enthusiasts for wines with authenticity, age-worthiness, and a distinctive sense of place, particularly in more mature vintages like this one.
