Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Auslese Cabinet 1945 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A rare 1945 Riesling Auslese Cabinet from Schloss Reinhartshausen, sourced from the distinguished Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau. Removed from the château in 2018, this historic bottle offers a remarkable opportunity to experience a mature German Riesling from the post-war vintage era, preserved for decades before release.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and development. Its complex bouquet combines mature fruit with notes of honey and spice, while further bottle evolution may have added layers of dried-fruit and tertiary character. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, balanced by a pleasing thread of acidity and leading to a long, persistent finish. Given its 1945 vintage, it is best appreciated as a mature historical wine and should be enjoyed soon after opening rather than cellared primarily for further development.

Production
Made from Riesling grown in the Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard, one of the Rheingau’s most respected historic sites. The wine was classified as Auslese Cabinet and was originally produced in 1945, although detailed information on the harvest and vinification is not available. It was subsequently removed from the château in 2018, offering an important indication of its provenance and long-term storage history.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas to unfold in the glass. It pairs well with refined dishes such as pâté, roasted poultry, glazed pork, mature cheeses or gently spiced Asian cuisine. Decanting is not essential and may be risky for a wine of this age; instead, open carefully and taste immediately, using a small, clean decanter only if sediment needs to be separated.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is associated with the Rheingau, one of Germany’s most important Riesling regions, and the historic Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard. This bottle’s significance lies particularly in its 1945 vintage, its château provenance and its preservation until 2018. Further details about the estate’s history and specific achievements are not available from the supplied information.
