Schloss Johannisberg - Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Goldbeerenauslese H. Sichel 1893 - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of wine history, this Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Goldbeerenauslese from the 1893 vintage was produced at one of Germany’s most celebrated wine estates. Bottled under the H. Sichel label, it represents the rarefied tradition of selecting exceptionally ripe, golden berries for Germany’s most luxurious sweet wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, with the visual intensity expected of a historic sweet Riesling. Its mature bouquet is described by notes of honey, ripe peach, apricot and citrus, creating a complex and layered aromatic profile. On the palate, it is rich and sweet, balanced by refreshing acidity and finishing with impressive length. At more than a century old, this is best regarded as a rare collector’s bottle; its condition, fill level and storage history will be important factors in assessing its current drinking character.

Production
Produced in the Rheingau from Riesling, this Goldbeerenauslese was made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe golden berries—the hallmark of the style. Schloss Johannisberg’s historic vineyards are renowned for producing richly flavoured Rieslings with the acidity needed to balance sweetness, although specific details of the 1893 harvest and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Enjoy as a contemplative aperitif or pair with refined desserts such as fruit tart, apricot soufflé, crème brûlée or lightly sweet pastries. It may also complement blue cheese and foie gras. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Given its age and rarity, decanting should be approached cautiously; if sediment is present, stand the bottle upright before gently pouring, and avoid prolonged aeration until its condition has been assessed.

Producer
Schloss Johannisberg is one of the Rheingau’s historic wine estates and is closely associated with the region’s long-standing Riesling tradition. The estate has played an important role in establishing the reputation of Rheingau Riesling for elegance, sweetness and longevity. This 1893 bottling is a particularly rare historical expression of that heritage.
