Staatsweingüter Eltville (Kloster Eberbach) - Assmannshäuser Höllenberg Spätburgunder Rot-Weiß Edelbeerenauslese Cabinet 1937 - 0,35 l

A rare 1937 Spätburgunder from Assmannshäuser Höllenberg, one of the Rheingau’s most celebrated red-wine sites. Produced by Staatsweingüter Eltville (Kloster Eberbach), this 0.35-litre bottle represents a remarkable piece of German wine history and is best suited to collectors, special occasions and intimate tastings.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep, mature ruby colour, potentially with garnet and brick-red tones developed through its considerable age. Its bouquet should reveal the complexity associated with a well-cellared wine of this era, combining ripe berry notes with mature spice and savoury, tertiary nuances. On the palate, the wine is described as rich and complex, with a finely judged balance between sweetness and acidity. Its long, elegant finish reflects both the concentration of the Edelbeerenauslese style and the wine’s exceptional age. As with any nearly century-old bottle, condition and provenance are crucial, and it should be enjoyed for its rarity and historical character rather than assessed against the profile of a young Spätburgunder.

Production
The wine comes from Assmannshäuser Höllenberg, a steep and highly regarded vineyard in the Rheingau known for producing distinguished red wines. The Spätburgunder grapes were selected as an Edelbeerenauslese, a German predicate reserved for exceptionally ripe, individually selected grapes, and the small 0.35-litre format underlines its rarity. Specific details regarding harvest conditions, vinification and maturation are not available; after such an extended period, careful storage and bottle condition will have a significant influence on the wine’s character.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. It could accompany refined dishes such as game, duck, poultry with rich sauces, mature cheese or a delicate dessert that complements its sweetness. Decanting should be approached with care: an old wine may benefit from a very gentle transfer to remove sediment, but prolonged aeration could cause its delicate aromas to fade. Opening shortly before serving and tasting first is advisable.

Producer
Staatsweingüter Eltville is associated with Kloster Eberbach, one of Germany’s most historically significant wine estates. Founded in the twelfth century, Kloster Eberbach played an important role in the development of viticulture in the Rheingau and remains closely linked with the region’s finest vineyards. This historic 1937 bottling reflects the estate’s long tradition of producing age-worthy wines from distinguished sites such as Assmannshäuser Höllenberg.
