Schloss Schönborn - Marcobrunner Riesling Beerenauslese 1949 - 0,7 l

Schloss Schönborn Marcobrunner Riesling Beerenauslese 1949 is a rare and highly collectible sweet wine from Germany’s historic Rheingau region. Produced from individually selected, naturally concentrated Riesling berries, this exceptional vintage reflects both the prestige of the Marcobrunner vineyard and the remarkable longevity of fine German noble-sweet wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep golden hues and a mature appearance introduce an intense bouquet of ripe peach, apricot and honey, supported by subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is rich, creamy and concentrated, with the sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity. Notes of citrus peel and delicate spice emerge on the long, elegant finish. As a 1949 Beerenauslese, this is a mature historic wine best approached as a vinous time capsule. Its condition and remaining freshness will depend greatly on storage, provenance and fill level, but it is intended for drinking now rather than further cellaring.

Production
The wine comes from the steep slopes of the Marcobrunner vineyard in the Rheingau, a site well suited to Riesling’s characteristic balance of ripeness, acidity and mineral expression. Beerenauslese is made only from individually selected, overripe grapes with naturally concentrated sugars, and is produced only in outstanding vintages. The 1949 harvest is widely regarded as one of the great historic Rheingau vintages, contributing to this wine’s depth and finesse.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing its mature aromas to develop in the glass. It is a natural match for fruit-based desserts, apricot or peach pastries, crème brûlée and rich blue or hard cheeses. A gentle decant may help separate any sediment and briefly open the wine, although very old sweet wines are best handled carefully and served soon after opening.

Producer
Schloss Schönborn is a historic Rheingau estate associated with some of the region’s most distinguished Riesling vineyards. This bottle represents the estate’s tradition of producing wines from prestigious sites and preserves a remarkable chapter in the history of German wine. With its 1949 vintage and Marcobrunner origin, it is particularly suited to collectors and enthusiasts of mature, rare Rheingau wines.
