Schloss Johannisberg - Schloss Johannisberg Riesling feinste Auslese Cabinet Rosalack 1949 - 0,7 l

Schloss Johannisberg Riesling feinste Auslese Cabinet Rosalack 1949 is a rare historic Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated wine estates. Bottled in the distinctive Rosalack style and now more than seven decades old, it offers collectors and enthusiasts the chance to experience a remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a beautiful rosé-gold hue, a natural sign of its long development in bottle. Its mature bouquet is described by aromas of ripe fruit and flowers, complemented by the refined, layered character expected from a well-preserved aged Riesling. On the palate, it is full-bodied and fruit-driven, with a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. As a 1949 vintage, this is primarily a collector’s wine and should be approached with appropriate expectations regarding bottle condition and provenance. If well stored, it may still offer impressive complexity and elegance, although its evolution will vary from bottle to bottle.

Production
Produced at Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau from Riesling grapes selected at Auslese level, the wine reflects the estate’s historic tradition of crafting naturally sweet, age-worthy wines. The term “feinste Auslese Cabinet” denotes an especially fine selection, while the Rosalack presentation is characteristic of the bottle’s historic identity. Specific details regarding the vineyard parcel, harvest method and vinification are not available for this individual bottle.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, at approximately 10–12°C, allowing a little time in the glass for the mature aromas to emerge. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for foie gras, pâté, mature cheeses, fruit-based desserts and refined dishes with gentle spice. Decanting is not automatically recommended for such an old wine: stand the bottle upright before opening, pour carefully and decant only if sediment is present, as extended exposure to air may diminish a fragile mature Riesling.

Producer
Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s most historically significant wine estates, situated in the Rheingau and closely associated with the development of premium Riesling. Riesling was planted at the estate in the early eighteenth century, and Schloss Johannisberg is also renowned for its connection with the celebrated discovery of late-harvest wine in 1775. Its long-standing reputation for elegant, age-worthy Rieslings makes this 1949 Auslese a particularly distinctive addition to a serious collection.
