Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling Edelbeerenauslese Cabinet 1953 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable historic Riesling from the celebrated Erbacher Marcobrunn vineyard, the Schloss Reinhartshausen Riesling Edelbeerenauslese Cabinet 1953 offers a rare opportunity to experience the character of a mature Rheingau sweet wine. Bottled from the exceptional 1953 vintage and marked “ex Chateau 2018”, it was carefully cellared at the estate before release, preserving its status as a true collector’s wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its mature bouquet is rich and expressive, with aromas of ripe and dried fruit layered with honey, sweet spices and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sweet, balanced by the freshness and acidity characteristic of Riesling. The finish is long and graceful, combining honeyed fruit with gentle spice and a lingering mineral impression. With more than seven decades of bottle age, this is a wine to appreciate for its complexity and rarity rather than youthfulness; its future will depend on storage conditions and the individual bottle.

Production
Edelbeerenauslese represents one of the highest traditional Prädikat levels for German Riesling and is produced from exceptionally ripe, carefully selected grapes. The wine originates from the renowned Erbacher Marcobrunn vineyard in the Rheingau, a site long associated with distinguished Rieslings. Specific details regarding the harvest method, botrytis, vinification and maturation of this 1953 bottling are not provided; its “ex Chateau 2018” designation indicates that it was released from carefully preserved estate holdings in 2018.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and sweetness to unfold in the glass. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie, blue cheese and foie gras. Decanting is not essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help separate any sediment; a short period of aeration in the glass is generally preferable for such an old wine.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic Rheingau estate associated with the production of prestigious Rieslings from some of the region’s most respected vineyard sites. Its Erbacher Marcobrunn wines are particularly prized for their balance of richness, acidity and mineral character. This 1953 Edelbeerenauslese, preserved and released as an “ex Chateau 2018” bottle, represents both the estate’s heritage and the remarkable ageing potential of top-quality Rheingau Riesling.
