Peter Jakob Kühn - Riesling Beerenauslese 1997 - 0,375 l

Peter Jakob Kühn’s 1997 Riesling Beerenauslese is a luxurious late-harvest dessert wine from Germany’s renowned Rheingau region. Bottled in a half-size 375 ml format, it combines concentrated sweetness with mature complexity, making it a particularly appealing choice for collectors and lovers of aged Riesling. The 1997 vintage now offers the depth and harmony that come with more than two decades of bottle age.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a rich golden colour, reflecting its age and concentration. Its intense bouquet opens with aromas of honey, ripe peach and apricot, complemented by delicate marzipan notes. On the palate, it is generously sweet, full-bodied and complex, with a balanced finish that lingers long after each sip. At this stage, the wine is mature and ready to enjoy, although well-stored bottles may continue to develop further nuances over time. Its combination of sweetness, concentration and freshness gives it the structure to age gracefully.

Production
Produced from Riesling in the Rheingau, a region celebrated for elegant, long-lived sweet wines, Beerenauslese is made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes. Such wines often gain their concentration through noble rot, which intensifies the fruit and honeyed character, although specific harvesting and vinification details for this bottle are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Beerenauslese is a natural match for fruit-based desserts, peach or apricot tart, crème brûlée and pâtisserie, while its sweetness and mature complexity also pair beautifully with blue cheese and other richly flavoured cheese selections. Decanting is generally unnecessary, but carefully opening the bottle and allowing it a few minutes in the glass can help reveal its full aromatic range.

Producer
Peter Jakob Kühn is a respected Rheingau producer known for expressive Riesling with a strong sense of place and excellent ageing potential. Based in Oestrich, the estate has a long winemaking tradition and has become particularly recognised for its focus on authentic, terroir-driven wines. This mature Beerenauslese reflects the region’s ability to produce refined, complex sweet wines capable of remarkable longevity.
