Schloss Reinhartshausen - Hattenheimer Wisselbrunn Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1953 'ex Chateau 2018' - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1953 Schloss Reinhartshausen Hattenheimer Wisselbrunn Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet is a rare example of an exceptionally long-lived German sweet wine. Released ex château in 2018 and presented in a 0.7-litre bottle, it offers collectors and connoisseurs the opportunity to experience a mature Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated wine regions.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show the deep golden to amber hues associated with its considerable age and concentration. Its mature bouquet is rich and layered, combining ripe fruit with notes of honey, warm spice and developed tertiary complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a pronounced yet harmonious sweetness, concentrated fruit character and a long, persistent finish. With more than six decades of bottle age, this is a wine to enjoy for its maturity and rarity rather than to hold solely for further development. As with all very old wines, its condition and evolution may vary, making careful opening and tasting especially rewarding.

Production
Sourced from the Hattenheimer Wisselbrunn vineyard in the Rheingau, this Riesling represents the region’s tradition of producing concentrated, age-worthy wines from noble late-harvest grapes. Classified as a Trockenbeerenauslese, it would have been made from highly concentrated, naturally sweet grapes selected at an advanced stage of ripeness. Specific details regarding harvesting and vinification are not available, but the wine was kept at the estate until its ex-château release in 2018.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and sweetness to unfold in the glass. It would pair beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, almond pastries or a refined selection of mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but a careful transfer into a clean decanter may help separate any sediment; alternatively, open gently and serve in small portions from the bottle.

Producer
Schloss Reinhartshausen is a historic Rheingau estate associated with the production of high-quality Riesling and other traditional wines from the region. Its location in the Hattenheim area places it within one of the Rheingau’s most distinguished wine communities, known for elegant, structured and long-lived Rieslings. This 1953 bottling, preserved at the château until 2018, is particularly significant as a rare surviving example of the estate’s historic sweet-wine tradition.
