Schloss Eltz - Kiedricher Sandgrub Riesling Kabinett 1977 - 0,7 l

Schloss Eltz Kiedricher Sandgrub Riesling Kabinett 1977 is a mature Rheingau Riesling from one of Kiedrich’s distinguished vineyard sites. More than four decades of bottle age have given this historic vintage the character and complexity sought by collectors of traditional German wines, while its Kabinett style preserves an elegant balance between fruit, sweetness and acidity.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age. Its bouquet is marked by mature peach and apricot, layered with citrus notes and the developed nuances that can emerge in a well-cellared Riesling over time. On the palate, it is described as fresh and lively, with finely integrated acidity, ripe stone-fruit character and a long, graceful finish. As a 1977 bottling, it should be approached as a mature wine at its peak or in a later stage of development; its condition and remaining vitality will depend greatly on storage history and bottle provenance.

Production
The wine comes from the Kiedricher Sandgrub vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, a region renowned for producing expressive, age-worthy Rieslings. The available information identifies the fruit as coming from the finest grapes of the site, but does not provide detailed information about the vintage’s harvesting methods or vinification. As with any historic bottle, careful attention should be paid to fill level, cork condition and storage before opening.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Its mature fruit and refreshing acidity make it a natural partner for delicate fish, seafood, lightly dressed salads and other refined dishes; it can also be enjoyed as an aperitif. Decanting is not necessarily required, and gentle handling is advisable for this mature bottle—open shortly before serving and decant only if sediment is present or the wine benefits from brief aeration.
