Schloss Eltz - Eltviller Langenstück Riesling Auslese 1964 - 0,7 l

Schloss Eltz Eltviller Langenstück Riesling Auslese 1964 is a rare, mature German Riesling from the historic Rheingau wine region. Sourced from the renowned Eltviller Langenstück vineyard, this 0.7-litre bottle offers a distinctive opportunity to experience the elegance and longevity associated with carefully preserved Auslese wines from the 1960s.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a beautiful golden-yellow colour, reflecting its considerable age and development in bottle. Its bouquet is intense and inviting, combining aromas of ripe orchard fruit with honeyed nuances and a subtle mineral character. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, balancing its residual sweetness with refreshing acidity. The finish is long, poised and revitalising, with the mature fruit and mineral notes lingering attractively. As a wine from 1964, it should be approached as a fully mature bottle; its condition and remaining vitality will depend greatly on storage history and ullage.

Production
This Riesling Auslese was produced from grapes grown in the Eltviller Langenstück vineyard in the Rheingau, a region renowned for its distinctive Rieslings and wines with excellent ageing potential. The Auslese designation indicates a richly styled wine made from selectively harvested, fully ripe grapes. Specific details regarding the vintage’s harvest conditions, vinification and maturation are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and balance to develop in the glass. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and other delicately sweet dishes, while its complexity also suits blue cheese or mature soft cheeses. It can equally be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif. Decanting is not generally necessary for an aged Riesling, although carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring slowly can help retain any sediment.

Producer
Schloss Eltz is associated with the historic Rheingau wine tradition, and this bottle reflects the region’s long-standing reputation for ageworthy Riesling. The 1964 vintage, its vineyard origin and Auslese classification make it especially appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of mature German wines. Further details about the estate’s history and specific achievements are not available from the supplied information.
