Schloss Schönborn - Hattenheimer Riesling Kabinett 1977 - 0,7 l

Schloss Schönborn’s Hattenheimer Riesling Kabinett 1977 is a mature Rheingau white wine with more than four decades of bottle age. Its golden colour, expressive ripe-fruit character and refreshing acidity reflect the elegance traditionally associated with Riesling from this celebrated German wine region. A distinctive choice for collectors, special occasions or anyone interested in discovering the character of a well-aged vintage.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden hue, indicative of its long maturation in bottle. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe peach, apricot and citrus, with the developed character expected from an older Riesling. On the palate, it is described as fresh and lively, supported by fine acidity and a long, elegant finish. As a 1977 vintage, it is best approached as a mature wine to enjoy now; its condition will naturally depend on storage history, bottle variation and provenance.

Production
This Kabinett was produced from Riesling grapes grown in Hattenheim in the Rheingau, a region known for its river-influenced climate and conditions well suited to elegant, fresh white wines. The grapes were selected from the 1977 harvest and carefully vinified before extended bottle ageing in the Schloss Schönborn cellar. Specific details concerning the vineyard site, harvesting method and cellar techniques are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, ideally at around 8–10°C, alongside delicate fish, seafood, light salads or other gently seasoned dishes. Its mature fruit and balancing acidity should also work well with mild poultry or soft, fresh cheeses. Open carefully and inspect for sediment; decanting is not always necessary for an older Riesling, but a brief, gentle decant may be useful if sediment is present. Given its age, pour slowly and enjoy soon after opening.
