Reichsfreiherr von Ritter zu Groenesteyn - Kiedricher Graefenberg Riesling Auslese Cabinet 1920 - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, the 1920 Reichsfreiherr von Ritter zu Groenesteyn Kiedricher Graefenberg Riesling Auslese Cabinet offers a rare opportunity to experience a wine that has spent more than a century maturing in bottle. Sourced from the renowned Kiedricher Graefenberg vineyard, this 0.7-litre bottle combines the elegance of mature Riesling with the provenance and character of an exceptionally old vintage.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as golden in colour, reflecting its long bottle maturation. Its aromatic profile is rich and evolved, with notes of ripe peach, apricot and honey, complemented by the distinctive mineral character associated with mature Riesling from the Rheingau. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, balancing residual sweetness with refreshing acidity. A long, graceful finish brings further mineral nuances. At more than a century old, this is a fully mature and potentially delicate wine, best enjoyed for its rarity and historic character rather than cellared for further development.

Production
The wine comes from the Kiedricher Graefenberg vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, a celebrated site known for producing expressive Riesling with depth, structure and mineral character. It was bottled in 1920 and has matured in bottle ever since. Specific details regarding harvesting and vinification are not available, but the Auslese designation indicates a wine made from selected, fully ripe grapes.

Food & Serving
This historic Riesling can be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine or paired with refined desserts such as cheesecake, crème brûlée, poached fruit or apricot tart. Serve slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s aromas to unfold in the glass. Because of its age, decanting should be approached with caution: stand the bottle upright before opening and, if necessary, gently separate any sediment shortly before serving.
