Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Auslese Cabinet 1915 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Auslese Cabinet from the 1915 vintage was released from the estate’s historic cellar in 2018. Bottled in an elegant 0.7-litre format, it offers a rare opportunity to experience a mature Riesling shaped by more than a century of careful cellaring and exceptional provenance.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden appearance, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its intense bouquet reveals layers of mature peach, apricot and mango, complemented by the complex, honeyed notes that develop in well-aged sweet Riesling. On the palate, it is full-bodied and luscious, with generous sweetness balanced by a lively thread of acidity. The long, polished finish leaves a lasting impression of ripe fruit and elegant maturity. With its age and estate-cellar provenance, this is best regarded as a mature collector’s wine; its condition and remaining evolution will depend greatly on storage history and fill level.

Production
The wine originates from Erbacher Markobrunn, one of the Rheingau’s distinguished vineyard sites, where Riesling benefits from the region’s favourable climate and the moderating influence of the Rhine. Harvest and vinification details for the 1915 vintage are not specified, but the Auslese designation indicates a wine made from carefully selected, naturally ripe grapes. The bottle was removed from the Schloss Reinhartshausen cellar in 2018, adding important historical provenance to this rare release.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C to allow its mature aromas and balance to unfold. It is a natural match for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, apricot tart and other refined pastries, while its acidity also makes it an excellent partner for blue cheese, mature hard cheese or foie gras. Decanting is not usually necessary for an aged Riesling; instead, open it carefully and pour gently, allowing the wine to develop in the glass. If sediment is present, a brief, gentle decant may be appropriate.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic estate in the Rheingau, a region renowned for producing some of Germany’s finest Rieslings. The estate’s cellar holdings preserve wines from important historic vintages, and this 1915 bottling—released as “ex Chateau 2018”—is a particularly distinctive example of that tradition. Its rarity, age and direct connection to the estate make it especially appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of mature German wine.
