Schloss Schönborn - Hochheimer Domdechaney Riesling Eiswein-Beerenauslese 1971 - 0,7 l

A rare 1971 sweet Riesling from Schloss Schönborn’s Hochheimer Domdechaney vineyard, this Eiswein-Beerenauslese represents the remarkable concentration and longevity associated with the Rheingau’s finest noble-sweet wines. With its beautifully matured character, golden colour and exceptional depth, it is a distinctive choice for collectors and lovers of historic German Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. On the nose, it offers an intense and inviting bouquet of dried apricot, ripe peach and honey, with the evolved complexity expected from a mature sweet Riesling. On the palate, it is rich, sweet and concentrated, balanced by a refreshing thread of acidity. Its long, lingering finish underlines the wine’s structure and depth. A well-preserved bottle may offer further tertiary nuances and can remain enjoyable for many years, although the condition of an individual 1971 bottle is naturally important.

Production
Produced from Riesling in the Hochheimer Domdechaney vineyard in Germany’s Rheingau region, this wine combines the qualities of Beerenauslese with the concentration associated with Eiswein. The grapes were selected at exceptional ripeness, with the wine’s sweetness and intensity shaped by highly concentrated fruit and careful vinification. Specific harvesting and cellar details for this historic vintage are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C, allowing a few minutes in the glass for its aromas to open. It is a natural match for fruit-based desserts, apricot or peach tarts, crème brûlée and blue or mature cheeses. Decanting is not usually necessary for a sweet Riesling of this style, but careful decanting may be considered if sediment is present; otherwise, serve gently from the bottle.
