Schloss Reinhartshausen - Erbacher Siegelsberg Riesling Eiswein-Beerenauslese 1973 - 0,7 l

A rare 1973 Riesling dessert wine from Schloss Reinhartshausen in the Rheingau, combining the concentration associated with Beerenauslese with the distinctive character of Eiswein. More than five decades of careful maturation have given this collectible bottle considerable historical appeal, making it an intriguing choice for both connoisseurs and wine collectors.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden colour, reflecting its age and natural concentration. Its aromatic profile is rich and expressive, with notes of ripe peach, apricot and honey complemented by hints of citrus and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sweet, supported by a refreshing acidity that keeps the richness balanced. The finish is long and lingering, with echoes of candied fruit, citrus and gentle spice. As a mature 1973 wine, it is best enjoyed now; its condition and further longevity will depend on how it has been stored and the level of fill in the bottle.

Production
Produced from Riesling grapes grown in the Erbacher Siegelsberg vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, this wine reflects the region’s longstanding reputation for finely balanced, age-worthy sweet wines. The designation Eiswein-Beerenauslese indicates an exceptionally concentrated style, combining botrytised, late-harvest fruit with the concentration achieved through freezing conditions. Specific details regarding harvest conditions, picking methods and vinification are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, at approximately 8–10°C, allowing a few minutes in the glass for its aromas to unfold. Its sweetness and acidity make it a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie, blue cheese and mature hard cheeses; it can also be enjoyed with dark chocolate. Decanting is not usually necessary, but careful standing and gentle pouring can help separate any sediment in this mature bottle. Open shortly before serving and handle with care due to its age.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is associated with the Rheingau, one of Germany’s historic regions for Riesling production.
