Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Brühl Riesling Beerenauslese Cabinet 1947 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1947 Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Brühl Riesling Beerenauslese Cabinet offers an exceptionally rare glimpse into one of Germany’s great post-war vintages. Removed from the château in 2018, it has been carefully preserved for decades and is presented in a 0.7-litre bottle—an extraordinary collector’s wine as well as a memorable dessert-wine experience.

Tasting Notes
The wine is deeply mature and expressive, with an aromatic profile shaped by age: ripe and dried fruits mingle with honey, sweet spices and layers of complex, evolved notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, balancing its sweetness with a pleasantly refreshing acidity. The finish is long, sweet and persistent, revealing the depth associated with a well-preserved Beerenauslese. At more than seven decades old, it is best enjoyed now, although its longevity will depend on storage conditions and the individual bottle.

Production
Made from Riesling grapes in the Erbacher Brühl vineyard of Germany’s Rheingau, this Beerenauslese represents a late-harvest style produced from exceptionally ripe, botrytised or naturally concentrated grapes. The Rheingau’s wines are renowned for combining richness with vibrant acidity, an essential quality for long-term ageing. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this historic bottle are not available, but the wine’s remarkable maturity and provenance are enhanced by its removal from the château in 2018.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s aromas to open gradually in the glass. Its sweetness and acidity make it a superb partner for foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and fine pastries, while it can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative finale to a meal. Decanting is not essential, but a gentle decant may help separate any sediment and allow the wine to breathe; handle the bottle carefully given its age.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic wine estate in Erbach, in the heart of the Rheingau, a region internationally recognised for producing distinguished Riesling. The estate’s long association with fine, age-worthy wines makes it a fitting source for this exceptionally mature 1947 Beerenauslese. With its château provenance and release from cellar in 2018, this bottle offers both a rare historical record and a distinctive example of the Rheingau’s capacity for extraordinary longevity.
