Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt - Oberemmeler Scharzberg Riesling Eiswein-Edelwein 1962 - 0,7 l

Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt’s 1962 Oberemmeler Scharzberg Riesling Eiswein-Edelwein is a rare, mature German dessert wine from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. Made in the prized Eiswein style, it combines concentrated sweetness with the vibrant acidity that allows exceptional Riesling to develop gracefully over decades.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its mature bouquet is rich and complex, with aromas of ripe and dried fruit, honey, candied citrus, and delicate spice. On the palate, it is intensely sweet and full-bodied, balanced by refreshing acidity and the concentrated fruit character associated with Eiswein. At more than six decades old, this is a mature collector’s wine best enjoyed now; its condition will naturally depend on storage and bottle provenance.

Production
The wine is identified as a Riesling Eiswein from Oberemmeler Scharzberg in the Saar area, a cool-climate site well suited to producing wines with pronounced acidity and aromatic concentration. Eiswein is traditionally made from grapes left on the vine until they freeze naturally, allowing frozen water to be separated from the juice during pressing and producing a small quantity of intensely concentrated must. Specific harvesting and vinification details for the 1962 vintage are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, at approximately 8–10°C, alongside foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, or an apple and pear tart. Its sweetness and acidity also make it a fine accompaniment to lightly spiced dishes. Decanting is not usually necessary for a mature Eiswein, although carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help leave any sediment undisturbed.

Producer
Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is a historic Mosel-Saar-Ruwer estate with a longstanding reputation for expressive Rieslings from distinguished vineyard sites. The producer’s wines are particularly associated with the Saar’s elegant, high-acid style, where delicate fruit, mineral character, and longevity are central to the region’s identity. This 1962 bottling offers a rare glimpse of the estate’s historic production and is suited to collectors and enthusiasts of mature German wines.
