This lot comprises two bottles of 1945 vintage Trockenbeerenauslese produced by Dr. A. M. Brogsitter-Finck & Söhne from the Marcobrunn vineyard in Rheingau.

Spanning just three thousand hectares of vineyards, Rheingau is admittedly one of the smallest winegrowing regions in Germany. Here, however, where the Rhine wears down powerful rock formations whose escarpments have been cultivated with vines since late antiquity, is the home of the Rheingauer; a myth-shrouded classic of the wine world. Rheingau is one of the birthplaces of the Riesling, which is probably the most expressive and sublime of the white grape varieties. The region is similar to Wachau: a wildly romantic, cultural landscape. Riesling develops its own unique character here, thanks to the combination of the river climate and the bedrock of the region, which is comprised of slate, quartzite, marl, loam and loess. The finest and most highly-prized white wines have been produced here since the 18th century. The first Riesling-only vineyard was cultivated in Schloss Johannisberg during the 18th century. During the same century, in 1775, the Spätlese was also discovered - a new type of fine wine. Rheingau was also the setting for the revival of the fine Riesling during the 1980s.

The fill levels are excellent (1x < 4 cm, 1x < 3 cm). The labels are soiled; the capsules are in perfect condition.
