Its mature bouquet is rich and expressive, with aromas of ripe peach, apricot and mango layered with delicate honeyed notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, balancing luscious sweetness with the refreshing acidity characteristic of Riesling. The finish is long, intense and lingering, with the fruit and honey tones continuing well after the final sip.\n\nAs a 1979 Eiswein-Beerenauslese, this is a mature bottle intended for contemplative enjoyment. Its sweetness and acidity have supported extended ageing, although the condition of any historic bottle will depend on storage and provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in the Steinberg vineyard in the Rheingau from Riesling grapes selected at exceptional ripeness, this Eiswein-Beerenauslese reflects the region’s tradition of producing concentrated, naturally sweet wines.
