Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Siegelsberg Riesling Auslese 1937 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1937 Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Siegelsberg Riesling Auslese is a rare, mature sweet wine with exceptional provenance. Released as “ex Château 2018,” it offers the opportunity to experience a nearly century-old German Riesling from one of Erbach’s distinguished vineyard sites, presented in a 0.7-litre bottle.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep golden to amber appearance, reflecting its considerable age and the concentration typical of an Auslese. Its complex bouquet combines mature stone and dried fruit with honeyed nuances, subtle spice and evolved tertiary notes developed over decades in bottle. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, balancing sweetness with refreshing acidity. Flavours of ripe fruit, honey and spice lead to a long, lingering finish. At this age, the wine should be considered fully mature; its condition and future development will depend greatly on storage history and bottle provenance.

Production
Made from Riesling grapes grown in the Erbacher Siegelsberg vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, this Auslese represents the region’s tradition of producing concentrated, late-harvest wines with a naturally balanced sweetness and acidity. The available information does not specify the exact harvesting or vinification methods used for the 1937 vintage, but the wine’s style reflects careful selection of ripe grapes and extended maturation, followed by release from the estate in 2018.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for delicate fish with lightly sweet or creamy sauces, roast or gently spiced poultry, and mature or blue cheeses. Given its age, decanting is not essential and may risk diminishing its delicate aromas; instead, stand the bottle upright before serving and pour carefully, leaving any sediment behind.
