Schloss Vollrads - Schloss Vollrads Riesling Beerenauslese Cabinet 1921 - 0,7 l

Schloss Vollrads Riesling Beerenauslese Cabinet 1921 is an exceptionally rare Rheingau sweet wine, offering a remarkable glimpse into the character of one of Germany’s great historic vintages. With almost a century of bottle age, it is a treasured collector’s wine defined by depth, elegance and extraordinary complexity.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue with delicate amber reflections, reflecting its long maturation in bottle. Its highly developed bouquet combines dried fruits, honey, caramel and warm spices, alongside the mature, nuanced notes expected from a venerable Riesling dessert wine. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, with a poised balance between sweetness and refreshing acidity. Layers of dried fruit and honey lead into a long, persistent finish marked by gentle spice and a subtle mineral character. As a wine from 1921, it should be approached as a historic drinking experience; its condition and evolution may vary, but its complexity makes it especially compelling for collectors and enthusiasts of mature Riesling.

Production
Produced in the Rheingau from hand-selected, naturally concentrated grapes classified as Beerenauslese, a style traditionally made from individually selected overripe berries, often affected by noble rot. The region’s combination of south-facing vineyards, a mild climate and the moderating influence of the Rhine is particularly suited to producing richly sweet wines with balancing acidity. Specific details of the 1921 vinification and maturation are not available, but the wine’s extended bottle age is central to its character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing its aromas and mature sweetness to unfold without becoming muted. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese and mature hard cheeses, while its balance also makes it a memorable aperitif. Decanting is not always necessary for an aged sweet wine, but careful decanting may be beneficial if sediment is present; open gently and serve soon after opening to preserve its delicate, evolved character.

Producer
Schloss Vollrads is one of Germany’s most historic wine estates and a leading name in the Rheingau, with documented winemaking history reaching back to the early 13th century. The estate is particularly associated with Riesling and with the production of refined, age-worthy wines that express the region’s distinctive combination of ripeness, acidity and mineral freshness. Its long heritage and focus on premium Rheingau wines make this 1921 Beerenauslese a notable piece of German wine history.
