Its mature bouquet is richly perfumed, with notes of honey, ripe apricot and peach, complemented by the layered complexity that comes with decades of ageing.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied, sweet and intensely flavoured, yet held in balance by refreshing acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent. Already a fascinating mature wine, it also has the structure to develop further when carefully stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the Erbacher Markobrunn vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, this Riesling was produced as a Trockenbeerenauslese, one of Germany’s most concentrated Prädikat categories. The grapes were hand-selected at extreme ripeness after being affected by Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, which naturally concentrates sugars and flavour. After its long maturation, the bottle was removed from the Schloss Reinhartshausen cellar in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its concentrated sweetness and lively acidity make it an excellent match for fruit-based desserts, apricot or peach pastries, crème brûlée and mature blue cheeses; it can also be enjoyed on its own as a luxurious aperitif. Decanting is not essential, but a gentle decant may help reveal the wine’s mature aromas shortly before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchloss Reinhartshausen is an established estate in the Rheingau, a region celebrated for its Riesling vineyards and the ageworthiness of its wines. This bottling highlights the estate’s historic cellar tradition: a rare 1959 wine preserved and released decades later as “ex Chateau 2018.” Its provenance, advanced maturity and limited availability make it particularly appealing to collectors and lovers of mature German Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schloss Reinhartshausen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617112478033,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000230","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000230.png?v=1787089050","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/schloss-reinhartshausen-erbacher-markobrunn-riesling-trockenbeerenauslese-cabinet-1959-ex-chateau-2018-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
