Manskopf-Sarasin - Marcobrunner Sonnenberg Riesling 1868 - 0,7 l

The Manskopf-Sarasin Marcobrunner Sonnenberg Riesling 1868 is a remarkable historic German wine from one of the Rheingau’s renowned vineyard sites. Bottled in a 0.7-litre format, this exceptionally rare vintage offers a unique opportunity to experience a Riesling dating back to the 19th century—an extraordinary bottle for collectors and special occasions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a luminous golden hue. Its mature bouquet reveals ripe peach and citrus fruit alongside delicate notes of honey, suggesting the complexity developed over more than a century of ageing. The palate is described as full-bodied and layered, with a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. A long, elegant finish is marked by refined mineral nuances. As a wine from 1868, its condition and evolution will naturally depend on storage and provenance; it is best approached as a historic collector’s bottle rather than evaluated solely by the standards of a young Riesling.

Production
The wine originates from the celebrated Marcobrunner Sonnenberg vineyard in the Rheingau, a site long associated with distinguished Riesling. Specific details regarding the harvest, vinification, maturation, and bottling of this historic vintage are not available.

Food & Serving
Its balance of richness, sweetness, acidity, and mineral character makes it a natural match for delicate fish, seafood, poultry, and subtly spiced Asian cuisine. It may also be served as an aperitif. Given its considerable age, serve it gently chilled at approximately 10–12°C and open with particular care; decanting should be approached cautiously and only if necessary, as very old wines can be sensitive to extended exposure to air.
