Staatsweingüter Eltville (Kloster Eberbach) - Steinberger Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet 1920 - 0,7 l

A remarkable historic Riesling from the Rheingau, the 1920 Steinberger Trockenbeerenauslese Cabinet was produced by Staatsweingüter Eltville at the renowned Kloster Eberbach. More than a century old, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the richness and longevity of a great German sweet wine from an exceptional historical vintage.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its complex bouquet reveals layers of mature fruit, honey and warming spice, with the developed, nuanced character expected from a carefully preserved wine of this age. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, balancing pronounced sweetness with impressive complexity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving echoes of ripe fruit, honey and spice. As a 1920 bottling, it is a fully mature wine; its condition and further development will depend greatly on storage history and provenance.

Production
Sourced from the celebrated Steinberg vineyard in the Rheingau, this Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese represents one of Germany’s most concentrated sweet-wine styles. The designation indicates grapes harvested at exceptional ripeness, traditionally with individually shrivelled berries and noble-rot influence. Specific details concerning the harvest and vinification of this historic bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s aromas and mature complexity to emerge in the glass. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pastries and blue cheese, while its rarity also makes it compelling as a contemplative aperitif. Decanting is not usually necessary; if sediment is present, carefully stand the bottle upright and decant gently shortly before serving. Given its age, handle the bottle with particular care.

Producer
Kloster Eberbach is one of Germany’s most historic wine estates, founded by Cistercian monks in 1136 and closely associated with the development of quality winegrowing in the Rheingau. Staatsweingüter Eltville has long represented the region’s state-managed wine interests, with Kloster Eberbach among its most distinguished holdings. The Steinberg vineyard is especially renowned for producing age-worthy Riesling, making this 1920 bottling a significant example of the Rheingau’s historic sweet-wine tradition.
