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

A remarkable historical Riesling from Schloss Vollrads, this 1921 Beerenauslese Cabinet offers a rare opportunity to experience a sweet Rheingau wine with more than a century of bottle age. Produced from individually selected, nobly ripe grapes, it is a collector’s bottle distinguished by its impressive provenance, depth and extraordinary maturity.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue with delicate amber reflections, reflecting its long evolution in bottle. Its mature bouquet is intense and layered, revealing dried fruit, honey, caramel and subtle spice, with the kind of developed complexity associated with very old sweet Rieslings. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, yet balanced by the refreshing acidity characteristic of Riesling and the Rheingau. Flavours of preserved and dried fruit mingle with honeyed sweetness, caramelised notes and a fine mineral character, leading to a long, persistent finish. As a wine of exceptional age, it is ready to drink, although its condition and further potential will depend greatly on storage history and fill level.

Production
This Beerenauslese comes from the Rheingau, a historic Riesling region shaped by the moderating influence of the Rhine and a climate well suited to late-harvest, botrytised sweet wines. The designation indicates individually selected, highly ripe grapes, traditionally picked by hand; however, detailed information about the 1921 harvest and vinification is not available. Its remarkable character today is the result of both concentrated fruit at harvest and more than a century of careful bottle maturation.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing its aromatic complexity to unfold in the glass. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pastries and mature cheeses, while its balance of sweetness and acidity also makes it a captivating aperitif. Decanting is not usually necessary and may risk diminishing its delicate mature aromas; instead, open carefully and pour gently, or allow the wine to develop gradually in the glass.

Producer
Schloss Vollrads is one of the historic wine estates of the Rheingau and is closely associated with the region’s long tradition of Riesling production. Set within a landmark château estate, the winery has played an important role in preserving and representing Rheingau wine culture across generations. A 1921 bottling from Schloss Vollrads is therefore significant not only for its age, but also as a rare expression of the estate’s early twentieth-century winemaking heritage.
