Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Kabinett Cabinet 1961 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1961 Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Kabinett was released from the cellar of Schloss Reinhartshausen in 2018. Its age, château provenance and elegant balance make it a rare collector’s bottle—equally suited to a special tasting or as a memorable gift for a serious Riesling enthusiast.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a luminous pale-gold colour, with the depth and warmth expected from more than six decades of bottle age. Its aromatic profile is intensely mature yet refined, combining ripe peach, apricot and citrus with subtle honeyed and mineral nuances. On the palate, it remains fresh and lively, with a graceful interplay between Riesling’s acidity and its residual sweetness. The finish is long, elegant and gently mineral. As a 1961 bottling, it is best enjoyed now rather than held primarily for further development; its condition and storage history will naturally influence its remaining vitality.

Production
Sourced from the Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, a celebrated site for finely structured Riesling, this wine reflects the region’s classic balance of ripeness, freshness and mineral character. The 1961 vintage was matured for decades in the Schloss Reinhartshausen cellar before being released directly from the estate in 2018. Specific harvesting and vinification details are not available, but the wine’s enduring freshness is characteristic of well-preserved, traditionally made Rheingau Riesling.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Its mature fruit, sweetness and acidity would complement refined dishes such as foie gras, pâté, roasted poultry with fruit elements, mildly spiced Asian cuisine or mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but a careful, brief decant may help separate any sediment; for such an old wine, gentle handling and immediate tasting after opening are recommended.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic estate in the Rheingau, a region internationally recognised for producing long-lived Riesling. Its cellar holdings and connection to distinguished vineyard sites such as Erbacher Markobrunn make bottles like this especially significant. The estate release of this 1961 vintage in 2018 adds valuable provenance, offering collectors the rare opportunity to experience an authentically mature Rheingau Riesling with château-cellar history.
