Geisenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Auslese

1976 Rheingau Riesling

The Deinhard Geisenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Auslese from the 1976 vintage is a delightful expression of the Rheingau region, known for its premium Rieslings. This white wine showcases a full-bodied composition that envelops the palate with a harmonious richness.

With a high fruit intensity, it bursts with vibrant notes of stone fruit and honeyed citrus, creating a mouthwatering experience. This Riesling is off-dry, perfect for those seeking a touch of sweetness without overwhelming the senses. The smooth and delicate tannins further contribute to its elegance, making it a superb choice for connoisseurs who appreciate the finesse of aged wines.

Region:


Rheingau

Germany's most famous wine region, the small but mighty Rheingau has built its stellar reputation on its delightfully dry Riesling. Thanks to the south-facing aspect of the Rhine Valley's slopes here—plus the shelter provided by the Taunus hills—the Rheingau's vineyards enjoy a unique mesoclimate that helps grapes ripen perfectly. As a result, these medium- to full-bodied white wines often display satisfying flavors of ripe peach. Fans of red wine should also look out for its Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder), which usually comes from vineyards near the village of Assmannhausen.
