Königl. preuss. Domänen-Kellerei (Kloster Eberbach) - Avelsbacher Thielslay Riesling 1911 - 0,7 l

A remarkable historical Riesling from the 1911 vintage, bottled by the Königliche Preußische Domänen-Kellerei at Kloster Eberbach. Sourced from the Avelsbacher Thielslay vineyard in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, this 0.7-litre bottle offers collectors a rare glimpse into Germany’s early 20th-century wine heritage.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as showing a deep golden-yellow colour, characteristic of a mature white wine of great age. Its bouquet is intensely aromatic, with developed notes of ripe peach and apricot alongside the complex, evolved tones that can emerge in a century-old Riesling. On the palate, it is full-bodied, supported by a pleasant thread of acidity and finishing with notable length. As with any wine from 1911, its condition will depend greatly on storage, fill level, cork integrity and provenance; it should therefore be regarded primarily as a historic collector’s wine, with its drinking potential assessed carefully at opening.

Production
The Avelsbacher Thielslay Riesling was produced from a distinguished Mosel-Saar-Ruwer vineyard and carefully vinified by experienced cellar staff at the Königliche Preußische Domänen-Kellerei, Kloster Eberbach. Specific details of the 1911 harvest and cellar methods are not available, but the wine reflects the estate’s historic role in presenting high-quality German Riesling from respected vineyard sites.

Food & Serving
This historic bottle is best approached as a tasting and collecting experience rather than a conventional dinner wine. If the wine remains sound, serve it lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C alongside delicate dishes such as pâté, roast poultry, lightly spiced Asian cuisine or mature soft cheese. Stand the bottle upright before opening and decant only if necessary to remove sediment; for a wine of this age, gentle handling and immediate tasting are recommended.

Producer
Kloster Eberbach is one of Germany’s most historically important wine estates, with origins reaching back to its foundation as a Cistercian monastery in the 12th century. The Königliche Preußische Domänen-Kellerei represented the estate’s later role as a Prussian state winery and helped establish its reputation for carefully produced wines from leading German vineyards. A 1911 bottling from this historic cellar is a distinctive piece of German wine history and a compelling addition to a collection of mature or archival wines.
