Schloss Reinhartshausen - Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen Riesling Spätlese Cabinet 1942 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable historical Riesling from the 1942 vintage, the Schloss Reinhartshausen Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen Spätlese Cabinet is a rare expression of Rheingau wine with more than eight decades of bottle age. Released as “ex Chateau 2018,” it offers collectors the opportunity to experience a mature estate wine shaped by time, provenance and the character of the exceptional 1942 harvest.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a luminous golden colour, typical of a mature Riesling with significant bottle age. Its complex bouquet combines ripe fruit with notes of honey, mature sweetness and warming spices, creating an evocative and refined aromatic profile. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with well-integrated acidity providing freshness and balance. A long, persistent finish completes the tasting experience. At this age, the wine is best approached as a mature rarity and is generally suited to immediate enjoyment, with careful storage and provenance playing an important role in its condition.

Production
Sourced from the Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau, this wine reflects one of the region’s distinguished Riesling sites. The available information confirms its Spätlese Cabinet classification and long maturation, but does not specify the precise harvesting or vinification methods. The “ex Chateau 2018” designation indicates a later release from estate-held or château-kept stock rather than a 2018 vintage.

Food & Serving
Its mature fruit, honeyed complexity and refreshing acidity make it a thoughtful partner for delicate fish, poultry and aged or aromatic cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Decanting is not essential, but a careful transfer may be considered to separate any sediment; otherwise, open gently and serve soon after opening.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is associated with the Rheingau, one of Germany’s most historic Riesling-producing regions. The estate’s Hattenheim wines highlight the area’s long tradition of producing age-worthy, site-expressive Rieslings. As detailed estate-history and achievement information is not provided for this particular bottling, its principal distinction is its exceptional 1942 vintage and release from mature château-held stock.
