Sourced from the celebrated Steinberg vineyard—one of the region’s most distinguished sites—this mature Riesling reflects both the pedigree of its origin and the character of a highly regarded 20th-century vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deep golden appearance introduces an expressive bouquet of ripe fruit, honey and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is rich and complex, with the sweetness characteristic of Spätlese balanced by refreshing acidity. Its long, elegant finish underlines the wine’s age and provenance.\n\nAs a 1964 bottling, this is a fully mature wine best approached as a historic drinking experience rather than for further cellaring. Its condition and evolution will naturally depend on storage and bottle provenance, so it is recommended to enjoy it when opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine originates from Steinberg, a prestigious Rheingau vineyard associated with Kloster Eberbach and its long-standing tradition of producing fine Riesling. Made from Riesling grapes and harvested at Spätlese ripeness, it would have been crafted in the traditional style of the period to preserve the balance between concentrated fruit, residual sweetness and the site’s mineral character. Specific harvesting and vinification records for this individual bottle are not provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas to unfold in the glass. Its combination of sweetness, acidity and depth makes it a natural partner for delicate fish, seafood, poultry and mature cheeses; it can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or alongside fruit-based desserts. Decanting is generally not essential for an old Riesling, but carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help leave any sediment undisturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaatsweingüter Eltville, associated with the historic Kloster Eberbach, is one of the Rheingau’s best-known wine institutions.
