Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Honigberg Riesling Beerenauslese Cabinet 1964 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A rare piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1964 Erbacher Honigberg Riesling Beerenauslese from Schloss Reinhartshausen offers an exceptional opportunity to experience a mature German sweet wine. Harvested more than half a century ago and retained at the estate until its 2018 ex-château release, it combines remarkable age, provenance and the concentrated character associated with Beerenauslese wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting its long maturation. The nose is intensely aromatic, with layers of ripe and dried fruit complemented by honeyed notes and subtle spice. The palate is rich, full-bodied and generously sweet, with the acidity providing balance and lift. Its mature character makes it especially suited to contemplative tasting. As a wine from 1964, it is already fully mature; further cellaring may be possible in ideal conditions, but its condition and remaining development will depend on storage and bottle provenance.

Production
Produced from selected Riesling grapes from the Erbacher Honigberg vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, this Beerenauslese represents one of the region’s highest traditional quality categories. The wine was harvested in 1964 and matured at Schloss Reinhartshausen before its ex-château release in 2018. Specific details regarding the vintage’s harvesting and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s aromas and mature sweetness to unfold in the glass. Its concentration pairs well with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts and pâtisserie, while its acidity can also complement gently spiced dishes. Decanting is not always necessary for a mature sweet Riesling, but carefully standing the bottle upright and opening it shortly before serving can help separate any sediment; a brief, gentle decant may be considered if required.
