Domänenweingut Schloss Schönborn - Graf von Schönborn
Domänenweingut Schloss Schönborn produces Rieslings from the Rheingau, Germany's most prestigious white wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on late-harvest expressions from two distinguished vineyard sites: Erbacher Marcobrunn and Hattenheimer Pfaffenberg. The Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese represents the pinnacle of botrytized winemaking, achieving intense concentration and complexity. The Hattenheimer Pfaffenberg lineup spans Auslese and Eiswein Beerenauslese bottlings, each capturing the mineral precision and noble rot character that define the region's finest sweet wines. Riesling at this level—harvested at extreme ripeness and affected by Botrytis cinerea—yields wines of remarkable balance: honeyed richness tempered by acidity, stone fruit and floral notes layered with dried apricot and spice. Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast have rated these wines, reflecting their standing among Germany's elite dessert Rieslings.
