Staatsweingüter Eltville (Kloster Eberbach) - Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Versteigerung 1976 - 0,7 l

An exceptional Rheingau rarity, this 1976 Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from Staatsweingüter Eltville (Kloster Eberbach) showcases the remarkable concentration and elegance that only the finest botrytised grapes can deliver. Bottled for auction release, it represents a piece of German wine history and a collector’s style of sweetness, precision, and age-worthy depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep golden colour, hinting at decades of development. The bouquet is layered and complex, with aromas of honey, apricot, ripe peach, candied citrus, and subtle mature notes that add extra richness and intrigue. On the palate, it is intensely sweet yet beautifully balanced by bright, lively acidity. The texture is concentrated and silky, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering fruit, citrus zest, and honeyed complexity. This is a wine with outstanding ageing potential, and after many years in bottle it can continue to evolve gracefully for a long time, developing further notes of dried fruit, marmalade, and noble oxidation.

Production
Sourced from the renowned Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg site in the Rheingau, this wine comes from one of the region’s most prestigious steep vineyards, where the slate-driven terroir and river influence help preserve freshness and aromatic finesse. Trockenbeerenauslese is made only from carefully selected, individually harvested grapes affected by noble rot, ensuring extreme concentration and natural sweetness. The 1976 Versteigerung bottling marks it as an auction wine, underlining its rarity and special selection.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed slightly chilled, around 8–10°C, where its sweetness and acidity remain in perfect harmony. It pairs beautifully with fine fruit desserts, tarte tatin, blue cheese, foie gras, or simply as an indulgent aperitif; decanting is not usually necessary, though older bottles may benefit from a gentle opening shortly before serving.
