Product details
Schloss Johannisberg Trockenbeerenauslese 1976 is a historic German Riesling from Schloss Johannisberg, one of the Rheingau’s most distinguished estates and a site with centuries of viticultural heritage. The estate is closely associated with the development of late-harvest Riesling styles and has long focused on expressing the distinctive character of its vineyards through carefully selected fruit and precise cellar work. The 1976 vintage represents a mature expression of this celebrated style, with the concentration and depth expected from Trockenbeerenauslese, a designation traditionally associated with individually selected, highly concentrated grapes.
The mature profile of the 1976 vintage is best approached as a collector’s expression, with concentrated fruit character, pronounced sweetness, and the layered complexity that develops through extended bottle age. For pairing, consider foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, or other gently sweet dishes that can balance its concentrated character. Serve well chilled to highlight its freshness and allow the mature nuances to unfold gradually in the glass.
