Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Markobrunn Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1959 - 0,7 l

A rare 1959 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from Schloss Reinhartshausen, sourced from the renowned Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau. This mature sweet wine reflects the exceptional concentration associated with carefully selected, late-harvested grapes and offers collectors a fascinating glimpse into the region’s historic winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep golden hue, consistent with its considerable age and concentration. Its aromatic profile is rich and expressive, with notes of ripe peach, apricot and honey, complemented by a subtle mineral character. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generously sweet, while balancing acidity keeps the wine lively and composed. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering fruit, honeyed richness and mineral nuance. As a 1959 vintage, this is a mature collector’s wine and should be approached with appropriate expectations regarding bottle condition and storage history. Properly preserved examples may offer remarkable complexity, while the wine is best enjoyed now rather than cellared solely for further development.

Production
The grapes were hand-selected from the steep slopes of the Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard in the Rheingau. The Trockenbeerenauslese designation indicates an exceptionally concentrated sweet wine made from individually selected, highly shrivelled grapes, traditionally affected by noble rot. Specific details regarding the vinification and maturation of this historic bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, at approximately 10–12°C, allowing its aromas and mature texture to unfold in the glass. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural match for fruit-based desserts, apricot or peach tart, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue cheese. It can also be served in small pours as a luxurious aperitif or after-dinner wine. Decanting is not essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and serving gently may help separate any sediment; a short period of aeration in the glass is generally preferable to prolonged decanting.
