Schloss Johannisberg - Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Auslese Cabinet Rosalack 1943 - 0,7 l

Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Auslese Cabinet Rosalack 1943 is a rare historic wine from one of the Rheingau’s most celebrated Riesling estates. With more than eight decades of bottle age, this 0.7-litre release offers collectors a unique opportunity to experience a piece of German wine history, provided it has been stored under suitable conditions.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as showing a beautiful golden colour, with the deepened tones typical of a mature Riesling. Its bouquet is intensely expressive, combining ripe fruit with notes of honey and warming spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity, followed by a long, elegant finish. As a 1943 vintage, it is best appreciated for its mature, tertiary character; its present condition and further ageing potential will depend greatly on provenance, fill level and storage history.

Production
Produced at Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau, this wine is identified as a Riesling Auslese—a style traditionally made from selectively harvested, fully ripe grapes. The estate’s vineyards benefit from the region’s distinctive river-influenced climate and slopes, which help Riesling retain its hallmark freshness alongside natural concentration. Detailed vintage-specific information regarding harvesting and vinification is not available, but the wine has matured in bottle since 1943.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the mature aromas to develop in the glass. Its sweetness, acidity and depth make it a natural partner for refined desserts, fruit-based pastries, blue cheese and other mature cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif. Decanting is not always necessary for an exceptionally old Riesling, but a careful, brief decant may help separate any sediment; opening and tasting the wine shortly before serving is recommended.

Producer
Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s historic wine estates and a landmark producer in the Rheingau, with a long-standing reputation for outstanding Riesling. The estate is closely associated with the development and recognition of late-harvest Riesling styles and remains one of the region’s best-known names. This 1943 Auslese reflects the estate’s enduring tradition and is particularly suited to collectors and enthusiasts of mature German wines.
