Schloss Johannisberg - Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1967 - 0,7 l

Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1967 is a rare, mature German sweet wine from one of the Rheingau’s most historic vineyard estates. Made from individually selected, naturally concentrated Riesling grapes, this exceptional vintage combines richness, freshness and remarkable longevity—an elegant expression of the legendary Schloss Johannisberg terroir.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, potentially with amber reflections that reflect its advanced age. Its mature bouquet is layered with honey, dried apricot, peach and citrus, complemented by the complex, botrytis-derived character typical of a distinguished Trockenbeerenauslese. On the palate, it is sweet, concentrated and beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity, with a long, lingering finish. Properly stored, this 1967 Riesling is a mature drinking experience rather than a wine to cellar for further development; as with all historic bottles, condition and provenance are important considerations.

Production
Trockenbeerenauslese is among Germany’s most concentrated Prädikat wines, produced from individually selected grapes that have shrivelled on the vine, often through the influence of noble rot, thereby concentrating their sugars, aromas and acidity. The grapes are harvested by hand in meticulous selections and gently pressed before fermentation and extended maturation. The Rheingau’s south-facing slopes, influenced by the Rhine and protected by the Taunus Hills, provide a favourable setting for late-ripening Riesling and the development of noble rot.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine a little time in the glass to reveal its mature aromas. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for blue cheese, foie gras and refined fruit-based desserts, while it can also complement delicate fish or poultry dishes with lightly sweet, aromatic sauces. Decanting is not essential, but careful decanting may help separate any sediment in this mature bottle; alternatively, open gently and pour slowly.

Producer
Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s most celebrated wine estates and a landmark of the Rheingau. With a winemaking history stretching back centuries, the estate is closely associated with the prestige of Riesling and with the development of Germany’s Prädikat classification. Its vineyards have long been recognised for producing wines of exceptional finesse, concentration and ageing potential, making a historic Trockenbeerenauslese such as the 1967 vintage a particularly distinctive collector’s wine.
