Made from Pinot Noir, Weißherbst is a delicately coloured German rosé style, offering the elegance of red grapes with the freshness and poise associated with white wines. Its age and provenance make it a particularly distinctive addition to a historic-wine collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine presents a luminous golden hue, characteristic of its considerable bottle age. Its mature bouquet is complex and expressive, combining aromas of baked apple, ripe pear and citrus with subtle notes of honey and warming spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, balancing its developed, rounded character with refreshing acidity. The finish is long and persistent, making this a fascinating example of mature Rheingau wine. As a 1967 bottle, its condition and drinking window will depend greatly on storage, fill level and ullage; it is best approached as a mature, contemplative wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine originates from Assmannshausen’s renowned Höllenberg vineyard in the Rheingau, a site historically associated with high-quality Spätburgunder. Produced from Pinot Noir as a Weißherbst Kabinett, it represents a traditional German style in which the red variety is handled to create a pale, fresh and refined wine. The wine is identified as Faß Nr. 21 and is presented in a 0.7-litre bottle. Specific details regarding harvest conditions, pressing and vinification are not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts mature, honeyed profile would pair well with delicately prepared fish, roast or poached poultry, and mild, lightly seasoned dishes. It can also complement soft or gently aged cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine time to open in the glass. Decanting is not essential, but a careful decant may be considered to remove sediment; for such an old bottle, gentle handling and immediate tasting after opening are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaatsweingüter Eltville, associated with Kloster Eberbach, belongs to one of the Rheingau’s most historically significant wine institutions. Kloster Eberbach was founded by Cistercian monks in the 12th century and played a formative role in establishing the region’s viticultural reputation. The estate has long been recognised for its focus on site-expressive wines and its connection with some of the Rheingau’s most important vineyards, including Assmannshäuser Höllenberg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Staatsweingüter Eltville (Kloster Eberbach)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617120801105,"sku":"GWCOM-AR000298","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR000298.png?v=1787089139","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/staatsweinguter-eltville-kloster-eberbach-assmannshauser-hollenberg-spatburgunder-weissherbst-kabinett-fass-nr-21-1967-07-l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
