Staatl. Weinbaudomänen Trier - Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Eiswein-Trockenbeerenauslese 1973 - 0,35 l

A rare 1973 Riesling from Ockfener Bockstein, one of the Saar’s most celebrated vineyard sites, presented in a 350 ml bottle by the Staatl. Weinbaudomänen Trier. Combining the concentration associated with Eiswein and Trockenbeerenauslese styles, this historic sweet wine offers a remarkable opportunity to experience mature Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Riesling from an exceptional vintage.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting its age and concentration. Its complex bouquet opens with notes of honey, ripe peach and apricot, followed by citrus fruit and delicate spice. On the palate, it is intensely sweet, rich and full-bodied, yet balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with the concentration and depth expected from a great late-harvest Riesling. Properly stored, a wine of this style and age may continue to develop, although its condition will depend greatly on provenance and storage history.

Production
Made from Riesling grown in the Ockfener Bockstein vineyard in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, this wine reflects the site’s reputation for producing highly concentrated, age-worthy sweet wines. The designation combines Eiswein and Trockenbeerenauslese terminology, indicating an exceptionally rich late-harvest style; specific details regarding the harvest conditions, grape selection and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This mature sweet Riesling is an excellent match for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, baked apples and blue cheese, while its acidity also allows it to complement foie gras or lightly spiced Asian dishes. Decanting is generally unnecessary for a 350 ml bottle, but opening it shortly before serving can allow the aromas to unfold. Handle gently and stand the bottle upright before opening if sediment is present.
