Made from exceptionally ripe, carefully selected grapes, it is a distinctive collector’s bottle for lovers of mature German Riesling and fine wine history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its mature bouquet combines ripe and dried fruit with honeyed notes, subtle spice and the complex, evolved aromas associated with a well-cellared sweet Riesling.\n\nOn the palate, it is richly sweet and full-bodied, balanced by refreshing acidity that prevents the wine from becoming heavy. The finish is long and lingering, with layers of mature fruit, honey and spice. As a 1964 vintage, it should be approached as a fully mature wine; further ageing potential will depend greatly on its provenance, storage conditions and the condition of the individual bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeerenauslese is produced from individually selected, overripe grapes, often affected by noble rot, which concentrates their sugars, aromas and flavours. The wine is identified as Riesling from the Rauenthaler Wieshell vineyard site in the Rheingau, although detailed information on the specific harvest and vinification methods is not available. Its sweetness would traditionally be balanced by the naturally high acidity characteristic of Rheingau Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This mature Beerenauslese is excellent as an aperitif or alongside fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie, blue cheese and foie gras. Decanting is not usually necessary, but the bottle may be stood upright before opening and gently decanted if sediment is present; handle it carefully due to its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchloss Eltz is associated with the historic wine culture of the Rheingau, one of Germany’s most celebrated Riesling regions. The estate name reflects the area’s long connection with aristocratic winegrowing and traditional German fine-wine production. As detailed historical information on this particular 1964 bottling is limited, its principal appeal lies in its rarity, age and representation of classic Rheingau Beerenauslese style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schloss Eltz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617129615697,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000270","price":485.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000270.png?v=1787089251","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/schloss-eltz-rauenthaler-wieshell-riesling-beerenauslese-1964-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
