Schloss Johannisberg - Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Beerenauslese Cabinet Rosa-Goldlack Goldkapsel1945 - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, the 1945 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Beerenauslese represents one of Germany’s most prestigious sweet-wine styles. Presented in the distinctive Rosa-Goldlack bottle with a Goldkapsel, it combines exceptional age, rarity and the heritage of Schloss Johannisberg—one of the historic estates most closely associated with Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as having a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its bouquet is intensely expressive, with layers of ripe and dried fruit, honey and warming spice, while further tertiary notes may have developed over the decades depending on storage conditions. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sweet, supported by the balancing acidity characteristic of Riesling and finishing with impressive length. The wine is mature and should be approached as a rare historical bottle; although it has substantial ageing potential by style, its current condition and remaining development will depend greatly on provenance and storage.

Production
Produced from Riesling at Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau, this Beerenauslese was made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes—a defining feature of the style. The estate’s historic vineyards benefit from the Rheingau’s favourable climate for producing concentrated, naturally sweet Rieslings. Specific details of the 1945 harvest and vinification are not available, so the wine should be appreciated primarily for its provenance, age and traditional Beerenauslese character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas to unfold in the glass. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or mature cheeses; it can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative aperitif. Decanting is not essential, but careful standing and gentle pouring into a suitable decanter may help separate any sediment—particularly if the bottle has been stored horizontally for many years.

Producer
Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s most celebrated historic wine estates and a landmark of the Rheingau. The estate has played a defining role in the development and prestige of Riesling, particularly in the production of noble sweet wines. This 1945 bottling, with its Rosa-Goldlack presentation and Goldkapsel, reflects both the estate’s long-standing reputation and the rarity of mature German Riesling from an important historical vintage.
