Aging Wine Aging Wine

Wine develops for the first six months or even longer in the cask. But even after bottling it continues to mature. Most German wines of the QbA and Kabinett grades are ready to drink when you buy them. Buy these in a recent vintage to enjoy their youthful freshness. At most, buy them when they are not more than four or five years old. Spätlese, too, may be consumed young, but it is likely to be enjoyable even five to ten years after bottling. The higher grades - the Auslese types - are usually longer-lived, generally reaching their peak when they are from seven to ten years old. With good storage, they will continue at their best for many years thereafter.

Wines from the Rheingau often take a few more years to reach their full perfection, while other Rhine wines - from Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Nahe - tend to mature a bit faster. The wines of Mosel-Saar-Ruwer are the most delicate of Germany wines, and the lesser grades from this region should be consumed sooner than Rhine wines.

If you decide to buy wine for ageing, it is wise to try one bottle before purchasing a case. It is also a good idea to sample your stored wines from time to time so that they don´t grow old without your knowledge.
