Schloss Eltz - Eltviller Sonnenberg Riesling Edelbeerenauslese 1964 - 0,7 l

Schloss Eltz Eltviller Sonnenberg Riesling Edelbeerenauslese 1964 is a rare, mature sweet wine from the Rheingau, made in the prized Edelbeerenauslese style. More than six decades of bottle age have given this historic Riesling remarkable depth, while its balance of luscious sweetness and refreshing acidity remains the hallmark of fine German dessert wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its long maturation in bottle. Its complex bouquet offers layers of ripe and preserved fruit, honey and delicate spice, with the mature character expected from a well-cellared 1964 vintage. On the palate, it is richly sweet and concentrated, supported by a pleasant vein of acidity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of ripe fruit, honey and spice. As a mature wine, it is best appreciated for its evolved character; further aging potential will depend greatly on the bottle’s storage history and current condition.

Production
The wine comes from the Eltviller Sonnenberg vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, a region renowned for elegant, long-lived Riesling. The designation Edelbeerenauslese indicates a rare, highly concentrated style made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes, often affected by noble rot. Specific details regarding the 1964 harvest and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its rich sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, fine pastries and blue cheese, while it can also be enjoyed on its own as a special aperitif or contemplative dessert wine. Decanting is not normally essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before serving and pouring gently can help separate any sediment that may have developed over time.
