Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg'sches Weingut - Hallgartener Hendelberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1959 - 0,35 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1959 Hallgartener Hendelberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet comes from the Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg'sches Weingut. Presented in a charming 0.35-litre bottle, it offers the rare opportunity to experience a mature German Riesling from a celebrated vintage more than six decades old.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden colour, reflecting its long maturation in bottle. Its bouquet is richly developed, combining ripe and exotic fruit with honeyed nuances and a subtle mineral character. On the palate, it is concentrated and complex, with flavours of mature fruit and honey balanced by refreshing Riesling acidity. The finish is notably long and persistent. As a 1959 Trockenbeerenauslese, it is already a mature collector's wine; its condition and provenance should be considered when assessing further ageing potential.

Production
This Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese was made from hand-selected grapes harvested in the Rheingau, where the region's distinctive mineral soils and moderate climate are well suited to producing richly flavoured Riesling wines. The wine has spent decades maturing in bottle, allowing its fruit, sweetness and acidity to develop greater complexity. Specific details concerning the vineyard work, grape composition and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its sweetness, acidity and developed honeyed character make it a natural partner for foie gras, pâté, blue cheese and refined fruit-based desserts, while its concentration also allows it to be enjoyed on its own. Decanting is not usually necessary for a delicate, mature wine of this age; instead, open it carefully and pour gently, allowing any sediment to remain in the bottle.
