Schloss Schönborn - Marcobrunner Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1949 - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Rheingau wine history, this 1949 Schloss Schönborn Marcobrunner Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet comes from one of Germany’s most celebrated historic vintages. More than seven decades of bottle age have transformed it into a rare collector’s wine, offering remarkable depth, sweetness and complexity for those who appreciate mature Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as golden in colour, with the deep, luminous appearance expected of a mature sweet Riesling. Its bouquet is complex and expressive, revealing layers of ripe fruit, honey and delicate spice, with the additional tertiary character that can develop over a long life in bottle. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, balancing pronounced sweetness with a refreshing thread of acidity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving an impression of mature fruit, honeyed richness and spice. At this age, the wine should be approached as a mature treasure: its condition and provenance will be important factors, and it is best enjoyed soon after opening rather than held for many more years.

Production
The wine originates from the historic Marcobrunner vineyard in the Rheingau, a region renowned for producing elegant, age-worthy Riesling. As a Trockenbeerenauslese, it represents an exceptionally concentrated style traditionally made from individually selected, naturally shrivelled grapes affected by noble rot. Detailed information about the 1949 harvest and cellar methods is not available, but the wine’s long maturation in bottle has contributed significantly to its developed character and complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine time to open in the glass. It would pair beautifully with foie gras, pâté, blue cheese and refined fruit-based desserts, while its acidity and maturity could also complement lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Decanting is not essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before serving and pouring gently can help separate any natural sediment; opening shortly before tasting is recommended.

Producer
Schloss Schönborn is one of the historic estates of the Rheingau, a region with a long-standing reputation for fine Riesling. The estate’s wines reflect the area’s rich viticultural heritage and the exceptional ageing capacity of its noble sweet wines. A 1949 bottle from Schloss Schönborn is both a sophisticated drinking experience and a tangible expression of the estate’s place in German wine history.
