With almost six decades of bottle age, it offers a remarkable opportunity to experience the longevity and finesse of mature German Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a luminous golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and development. Its bouquet is complex and mature, combining ripe orchard and stone fruit with notes of honey, spice and subtle tertiary nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, balancing its richness with a pleasing, refreshing acidity. The finish is long and persistent, and the wine is best enjoyed now for its evolved character rather than held solely for further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginating from the Erbacher Hohenrain vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, this wine is made from Riesling, the region’s signature grape. The vineyard’s tradition of producing age-worthy wines is reflected in the wine’s balance between fruit, sweetness and acidity. Specific details regarding harvest conditions and vinification are not available, but the ex-château release in 2018 indicates that the bottle was preserved at the estate before being offered to collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Its mature sweetness, acidity and savoury complexity would pair beautifully with foie gras, pâté, roasted poultry, glazed pork, mature hard cheeses or refined desserts featuring apple, pear or honey. Decanting is not essential, but a careful decant can help remove any sediment; for maximum delicacy, the wine may simply be poured gently and enjoyed from a suitable white-wine glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchloss Reinhartshausen is a historic wine estate in Erbach, within the Rheingau, a region renowned for producing some of Germany’s most long-lived Rieslings. The estate’s wines are closely associated with the area’s aristocratic and auction traditions, and this 1964 bottle is particularly notable for its ex-château provenance and late release in 2018. It is a distinctive collector’s wine for anyone interested in mature Rheingau Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schloss Reinhartshausen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617136988497,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000281","price":215.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000281.png?v=1787089340","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/schloss-reinhartshausen-erbacher-hohenrain-riesling-spatlese-cabinet-versteigerung-1964-ex-chateau-2018-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
