Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1937 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable and exceptionally rare Rheingau Riesling from the 1937 vintage, this Erbacher Markobrunn Trockenbeerenauslese from Schloss Reinhartshausen offers a fascinating taste of pre-war German wine history. Presented as an ex-château release in 2018, it combines outstanding age with the concentration, sweetness and balance expected from a top-quality Trockenbeerenauslese.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its complex bouquet reveals layers of honey, dried apricot, ripe peach and citrus, with the maturity adding further depth and refinement. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied and pleasantly sweet, supported by lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and balanced. The finish is long, persistent and remarkably expressive. Stored well, a wine of this style and age is best appreciated for its extraordinary complexity and historical character rather than further cellaring.

Production
The wine originates from the celebrated Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, a site well suited to producing distinguished Riesling. As a Trockenbeerenauslese, it was made from highly concentrated, naturally shrivelled grapes selected for their exceptional ripeness. Specific details regarding the vintage’s harvesting and vinification are not provided, but the wine’s sweetness, concentration and acidity reflect the traditional character of this rare Prädikatswein style.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Its sweetness and vibrant acidity make it a superb match for foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and apricot or peach tarts. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative wine. Decanting is not essential, but careful decanting may help separate any sediment; handle the bottle gently and allow the wine to open in the glass.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic Rheingau estate associated with the production of elegant, long-lived Riesling from some of the region’s finest vineyard sites. Its Erbacher Markobrunn wines reflect the Rheingau tradition of combining ripe fruit, pronounced acidity and exceptional ageing potential. This 1937 bottling is especially significant as a rare historical example of the estate’s sweet-wine heritage.
