Schloss Saarstein - Serriger Schloß Saarsteiner Riesling Eiswein-Auslese 1973 - 0,75l

Schloss Saarstein Serriger Schloß Saarsteiner Riesling Eiswein-Auslese 1973 is a rare and highly collectible dessert wine from the Saar, offering a remarkable glimpse into a mature German sweet-wine vintage. Produced from grapes grown in the renowned Saarsteiner vineyards, this limited 0.75-litre bottle combines concentrated fruit, honeyed richness and the vibrant acidity characteristic of Saar Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep golden colour, reflecting its long evolution in bottle. Its mature bouquet reveals ripe and exotic fruit, honey and delicate botrytis notes, creating an aromatic profile that is both rich and refined. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with a harmonious balance between sweetness and refreshing acidity. Flavours of honey and exotic fruit carry through to a long, lingering finish. As a 1973 Eiswein-Auslese, it is already fully mature; its further longevity will depend greatly on the wine’s storage history and the condition of the individual bottle.

Production
Made from Riesling grapes from the Saarsteiner vineyards in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, this Eiswein-Auslese represents a style of wine prized for its natural concentration and purity. Eiswein is produced from grapes harvested while frozen, concentrating sugars, fruit character and acidity in the pressed juice; the Auslese designation indicates a selection of particularly ripe grapes. Specific details regarding harvest date, vinification and residual sugar are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, at approximately 8–10°C, in small tulip-shaped glasses to allow the wine’s aromas to develop. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or mature cheeses, while its acidity also makes it an elegant conclusion to a celebratory meal. Decanting is generally unnecessary for a mature sweet wine, although careful standing and gentle pouring may help separate any sediment.

Producer
Schloss Saarstein is a respected estate associated with the steep, distinctive vineyards of the Saar, where Riesling benefits from a cool climate and a long growing season. The estate’s wines are particularly valued for their precision, acidity and ability to mature gracefully. This 1973 Eiswein-Auslese is a rare historical bottling suited to collectors and enthusiasts seeking an exceptional mature German sweet wine.
