Again a nice Christmas Wine. This old Riesling from Hessische Staatsweingüter (State-owned wineries of Rheingau) showed of course strong signs of maturity but did not at all seem old. Golden colour, aromatic nose, tasty body with bitter orange notes and a certain freshness, slight acidity.

Perfect with cheese!

This is my next aged Riesling-bottle, this time from the very very good 1976 vintage. It’s an eBay bottle from some quite totally unknown estate in the Mosel region, since I striclty found nothing about it on the net.
Therefore, and also because lots of people don’t appreciate aged white, I got it for very little money.
It is an Auslese which is the third highest Prädikat and comes before the well-known sweet wine Prädikate such as Trockenbeerenauslese or Eiswein.

Auslese means that only the best grapes in the vineyard are selected and the mustweight should be at least 95 Oechsle degrees.

Most generally a Auslese comes with relatively low alcohol and rather high residual sugar.

Nowadays the trend is that there are more and more “trockene Auslesen” being made, which means dry Auslesen, but for a 1970’s wine one can almost be sure it is a nondry wine.
We had it at the end of a dinner as a final bottle without any food accompanying it. The wine had golden colour with an amber hue. In the nose some Edelfirne of course reminding wax and honey as well as some orange zest. On the palate it was at first striking how low the alcohol level was. There was no indication on the label about the alcohol (at that time it wasn’t mandatory) but it must have already been low and by now it had nearly completely disappeared. My guess would be something like 4 to 6 %, and it was such that one could have the impression to taste grapejuice actually. Nevertheless it had a long finish with a fresh minty note. All in all the wine was still in very good shape regarding oxidation and cork, but lacked a bit of structure as it seemed a bit watery sometimes and of course was short of alcohol. I think it would be best drunk as a refreshing and light starter drink before a dinner.

Since I am more and more interested in aged Rieslings now, I will try to taste some more bottles in the coming months.
As a starting shot I found a “medium-aged” Riesling from the Nahe, which was some kind of special-edition for celebrating the 250th birthday of the Höchster porcelaine manufacture.

Therefore the bottle wasn’t equipped with a regular paper label, but with a porcelaine badge instead featuring a drawing of the old manufacture.

Only the back-label (which was a paper-label) informed ous that it was a 1994 Riesling Auslese from the Nahe, a smaller appellation named by a river which is an offset of the Rhine. The wine was made by the Prinz zu Salm Dallberg`sches Weingut, one of the oldest estates in Germany (first mentionned in 1200) which has always been owned by the same family.
We drank the bottle as a starter, which can often be a good purpose for aged Rieslings. It had a rather dark colour, more amber than golden. The nose wa clearly a matured Riesling nose with some Edelfirne reminding of bee-wax mixed with honey. On the palate it was rather dry with an iodic touch and medium acidity and later also a touch of spiciness. The finish was long with a slightly fresh note and without bitterness.
This Auslese was still very nicely drinkable, more reminding a good sherry than a fruity white, but this is one of the many facettes a Riesling can have.
