Produced from carefully selected Riesling grapes and presented in a 0.7-litre bottle, it combines the elegance of the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr site with the richness and longevity associated with Beerenauslese wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a deep golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. On the nose, aromas of ripe fruit and honey are complemented by the distinctive richness expected of a mature Riesling Beerenauslese.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and sweet, with flavours of exotic fruit balanced by Riesling’s lively acidity. This interplay keeps the wine focused and refreshing despite its luxurious sweetness. A mature 1976 Beerenauslese should be approached as a fully developed wine and is best enjoyed now, although its precise condition and remaining ageing potential will depend on storage and provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the renowned Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard on the Mosel, a steep site traditionally associated with slate-rich soils, excellent exposure and a long, cool ripening season. As a Beerenauslese, the wine was made from individually selected, highly ripe grapes; the description notes that the fruit was hand-picked. The Goldkapsel designation further identifies it as a particularly special selection, with concentration and sweetness balanced by Riesling’s natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This mature Beerenauslese is an excellent partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or washed-rind cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine. Decanting is not essential, but a careful decant may be useful if sediment is present; otherwise, open gently and pour slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVereinigte Hospitien is one of the historic wine institutions of Trier, with deep roots in the Mosel’s viticultural tradition and a strong connection to the region’s charitable heritage.
