Schloss Johannisberg - Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Eiswein-Auslese Rosalack 'Braut des Jahrganges' 1969 - 0,7 l

Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Eiswein-Auslese Rosalack “Braut des Jahrganges” 1969 is a remarkable historic sweet wine from one of the Rheingau’s most celebrated estates. Made from the finest grapes of the 1969 vintage, this rare bottling combines extraordinary concentration with the freshness that allows great Riesling dessert wines to age for decades.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an intense golden-yellow colour, with the depth and luminosity expected from a mature Riesling Eiswein. Its complex bouquet reveals aromas of ripe fruit, honey and delicate spice, developing further nuances with time in the glass. On the palate, it is rich, concentrated and full-bodied, with pronounced sweetness balanced by lively acidity. The finish is notably long and persistent. At more than half a century old, this is a mature collector’s wine and is best enjoyed now, although its condition will depend greatly on storage and fill level.

Production
Produced in the Rheingau from Riesling, the wine reflects the region’s classic balance of ripe fruit, sweetness and vibrant acidity. As an Eiswein-Auslese, it was made from grapes harvested at freezing temperatures, concentrating the fruit’s sugars, flavours and natural acidity. The “Rosalack” designation and “Braut des Jahrganges” title add to the individual character and historic appeal of this 1969 Schloss Johannisberg bottling.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. It is a natural partner for foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts and refined pastries, while its acidity also makes it an excellent match for gently spiced Asian cuisine. Decanting is not usually necessary; instead, open carefully and allow the wine a little time in the glass. If sediment is present, a gentle decant may be appropriate, but avoid excessive aeration of this mature wine.

Producer
Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s historic wine estates, situated in the Rheingau and closely associated with the production of outstanding Riesling. The estate has played a significant role in the region’s wine heritage and is renowned for sweet wines that combine richness with precision and acidity. A rare vintage from 1969, this bottle represents both the long-lived character of Rheingau Riesling and the estate’s distinguished history.
