Produced from carefully selected Riesling grapes at one of Germany’s most historic estates, this mature Auslese offers the depth, complexity and provenance sought by collectors of fine aged German wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is expected to show a deep golden hue, with the colour and intensity characteristic of a well-matured Riesling. Its bouquet is layered and expressive, combining honey, ripe peach, apricot and citrus with delicate spicy nuances and the evolved notes that develop with extended bottle age.\n\nOn the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, balanced by refreshing Riesling acidity. The finish is long and complex, with mature fruit, honeyed tones and gentle spice lingering beautifully. At more than six decades old, it is best approached as a fully mature wine to enjoy now; its precise condition will naturally depend on storage and bottle provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau, a region renowned for its south-facing vineyards, protective Taunus hills and ideal conditions for producing expressive, long-lived Riesling. As an Auslese, it was made from selectively harvested, naturally concentrated grapes. The designation “Rosalack Faß Nr. 111\/216” identifies its historic maturation and cellar provenance, while the wine’s remarkable age reflects the estate’s longstanding tradition of developing Riesling in its own cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and texture to unfold in the glass. Its richness and acidity make it a fine partner for pâté, foie gras, roasted poultry, mature cheeses and gently spiced Asian cuisine, while its mature sweetness can also complement fruit-based desserts. Decanting is not always necessary for an aged Riesling; instead, open it carefully and taste first. If sediment is present or the wine seems initially closed, a gentle decant shortly before serving is advisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s most historically significant wine estates and is widely regarded as a landmark of Rheingau Riesling. The estate has been dedicated to Riesling for centuries and is closely associated with the development and recognition of high-quality late-harvest and sweet wines. Its wines are valued for their elegance, longevity and distinctive expression of the Rheingau terroir, making this 1964 Auslese a particularly evocative example of the estate’s enduring heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schloss Johannisberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617096257873,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000847","price":385.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000847.png?v=1787088884","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/schloss-johannisberg-schloss-johannisberg-riesling-auslese-rosalack-fass-nr-111216-1964-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
