J. B. Becker - Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1959 - 0,7 l

The 1959 J. B. Becker Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet is a rare and highly mature dessert wine from the Rheingau. Produced from carefully selected grapes grown on the Walkenberg vineyard in Walluf, this exceptional vintage combines remarkable age with the concentration and sweetness expected of a Trockenbeerenauslese—a treasured bottle for collectors and connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. The nose is intense and layered, with aromas of ripe fruit, honey and delicate spice. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied and sweet, balanced by a refreshing acidity that prevents the wine from feeling heavy. A mineral nuance emerges on the long, persistent finish. This is a fully mature wine, best enjoyed now, although its longevity will depend greatly on the bottle’s storage history and current condition.

Production
The wine originates from the Walkenberg vineyard in Walluf, in Germany’s Rheingau region, a historic home of fine Riesling. As a Trockenbeerenauslese, it was made from individually selected, highly concentrated grapes; the supplied description identifies the fruit as hand-picked. Further details regarding botrytis, harvest dates and vinification are not available, but the wine’s concentration and balance are characteristic of this rare Prädikat style.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing its mature aromas and sweetness to develop in the glass. It is well suited to fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and other gently sweet pastries, while its acidity and mineral character also make it an excellent match for blue cheese or mature, creamy cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but careful opening and a brief rest in the glass can help the wine unfold; avoid prolonged aeration if the bottle is particularly delicate.

Producer
J. B. Becker is associated here with the Rheingau’s Walluf and the historic Walkenberg vineyard.

As a historic 0.7-litre bottle, it should be stored carefully and handled with particular attention to provenance and fill level.
