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

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1915 Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Auslese Cabinet offers the rare opportunity to experience a wine more than a century old. Presented as “ex Chateau 2018”, it comes from the renowned Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard and combines exceptional age with the natural longevity of Riesling. A captivating choice for collectors and connoisseurs of historic German wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and development in bottle. Its complex bouquet reveals layers of mature fruit, honey, dried flowers and delicate spice, with the evolved aromas typical of a well-preserved historic Riesling. On the palate, it is rich and rounded, balanced by a refreshing vein of acidity that gives the wine focus and length. Notes of ripe fruit, honey and warm spice unfold through a persistent finish. Given its 1915 vintage, this is best approached as a mature collector’s wine: its condition, freshness and remaining drinking window will depend greatly on storage and provenance.

Production
Made from Riesling grapes grown in the Erbacher Markobrunn, one of the Rheingau’s respected vineyard sites, the wine reflects the region’s classic combination of steep slopes, mineral-rich soils and a climate moderated by the Rhine. It was produced as an Auslese, a German Prädikatswein category traditionally made from selectively harvested, fully ripe grapes. Specific details regarding the original harvest, vinification and maturation are not provided, while the “ex Chateau 2018” designation indicates that the bottle was released from château or estate-held stock in 2018.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s complexity to emerge without muting its aromas. Its sweetness, acidity and maturity would suit foie gras, pâté, mature blue cheeses, glazed poultry or refined desserts featuring baked apple, pear, honey or dried fruit. Open carefully and inspect for sediment; gentle decanting may be appropriate if necessary, although a fragile wine of this age should not be left exposed to air for long. It is best enjoyed shortly after opening.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic estate in Erbach in the Rheingau, a region celebrated for its Riesling tradition and prestigious river-facing vineyards. The estate is closely associated with the cultivation and preservation of fine Rheingau wines, and bottles such as this long-aged Erbacher Markobrunn illustrate the region’s extraordinary capacity for bottle maturation. As with any wine from 1915, careful provenance and storage are central to its value and enjoyment.
