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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchloss 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schloss Johannisberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617130828113,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000113","price":725.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000113.png?v=1787089267","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/schloss-johannisberg-schloss-johannisberg-riesling-auslese-cabinet-rosalack-1943-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
