The 1971 Mettenheimer Schlossberg Siegerrebe, Sylvaner, und Riesling Beerenauslese is a sweet dessert wine from Germany, produced by Philipp Wissmann

The wine is a blend of Siegerrebe, Sylvaner, and Riesling grape varieties, which are known for their ability to produce rich and aromatic sweet wines, especially when made in the Beerenauslese style.

Beerenauslese, which translates to “berry selection,” is a German Prädikat indicating that the wine is made from individually selected, overripe grapes. These grapes are often affected by noble rot, which dehydrates the grapes and concentrates their sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine with high sweetness and potential for complexity

The Mettenheimer Schlossberg is a specific vineyard site in the wine region of Rheinhessen, and the wines from this site are known for their quality. The 1971 vintage is particularly notable for its age, as it is now over 50 years old. Wines like this can develop a wide range of nuanced flavors over time, including honey, dried fruits, nuts, and earthy or spicy notes, alongside the primary fruit characteristics.

While specific tasting notes for the 1971 vintage are not provided in the search results, the combination of Siegerrebe, Sylvaner, and Riesling in a Beerenauslese would likely result in a wine with a complex bouquet and a rich palate, balanced by the natural acidity of the Riesling grape.

The size of the bottle is listed as 750ml, which is a standard full-size wine bottle. The price for this particular vintage is not mentioned in the search results, but given its rarity and the prestige of Beerenauslese wines, it could be of significant value to collectors and enthusiasts of German dessert wines. The average price of the 1971 Mettenheimer Schlossberg Siegerrebe, Sylvaner, und Riesling Beerenauslese is $499.00
