Wine vintage rating 1957

What was the vintage 1957 like?

The 1957 wine year - first dry in the spring, then frost, a cool August and a hot September - October for the harvest. 1957 - How should the vintage be rated? First of all: the year 1957 is now very, very long ago. It depends on the state of preservation of each individual bottle. It is therefore of no use if we know that this and that region and this and that winery were very good in 1957 if the bottle was poorly stored and comes to us in a pitiful condition. We only offer you really good bottles.
In principle, it must also be a high-quality 1957 wine so that it can even be said to have storability. A winery with a long famous history, with excellent soil, so a classic old value is suitable. It should be a wine that is still important today.
Then there are vintages that were perfect in all classic wine regions and vintages that were poor everywhere. And vintages that were different in each region. 1957 was difficult in Bordeaux, better to sometimes very good in Italy in Piedmont and Toscana, good in Burgundy and very good on the RhĂ´ne. With good bottles, you will find port wine notes, perhaps something oxidative, when you taste them. Many Bordeaux have a present acidity. The wine often appears restrained and fragile. Very nice, drinkable wines come from wineries that strictly selected the harvest, which was not common at the time.
Because the vintage was so different depending on the location, our range of 1957 wines is up-to-date and, in retrospect, quite diverse. Many big names never appeared, but there were a few outsiders. Conclusion: Perfect bottles from 1957 beautifully show the character of the vintage. A part of adventure is always part of the tasting.

Weather in the year 1957

A very mild winter ended with violent storms. Then came a cold May and a rainy June. At the beginning of July, a heat wave with very dry weather set in, but this did not last long and turned into a wet, rather chilly July.

Good filling levels, good wine quality

The fill level of an old vintage wine reveals important information on the drinkability of the wine.
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.

But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.

A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.


The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

Wine rating

Do you have a 1957 vintage in your wine cellar and would you like to know how much it is worth?

Here are a few tips: in order to still have any value, the bottle must be leakproof. The wine must not be cloudy. It should be of good quality (not supermarket wine).

Search for the wine online without specifying the vintage. If it is a well-known winery, you will find the wine immediately and also the price you have to pay for the current vintage. If the current wine costs from EUR 20.00 upwards, that's a good sign.

The filling level is decisive for the value. Upper shoulder to base neck is required. Medium shoulder is only acceptable for extremely rare, already valuable wines.
SW19296 1957 Falerno Pasquale Scala
Campania
Legend has it that Bacchus appeared in mortal form to an old farmer, named Falernus, who lived on the slopes of Mount Massico. Despite the god's rather scruffy appearance, which he had purposely assumed, the farmer welcomed him and offered him all that he had-milk, honey and fruit. Moved, Bacchus rewarded such hospitality by transforming the milk into a wine that Falernus drank, falling to sleep immediately afterward. And at that moment, Bacchus converted the slopes of Mount Massico into a vast vineyard, launching a tradition that few other wines can begin to match. In the classical Rome Falerno wine was drunk by the emperors and was recommended by all the poets.

SW14430 1957 Barolo Mirafiore
Piemonte - Serralunga d'Alba

The classical dry red wine comes from the Barolo DOC in Northern Italy, the most important wine region of Piedmont. Prior to the mid-19th century, Barolo was a sweet wine. The fact that the Nebbiolo grape ripens late in October meant that temperatures would be steadily dropping by harvest. By November and December, temperatures in the Piedmont region would be cold enough to halt fermentation, leaving a significant amount of residual sugar left in the wine. In the mid-19th century the French enologist Louis Oudart improve the winemaking techniques of the local producers. Using techniques focusing on improving the hygiene of the cellar, Oudart was able to ferment the Nebbiolo must completely dry, making the first modern Barolo. This new, dry red wine soon became a favorite among the nobility of Turin and the ruling House of Savoy, giving rise to the popular description of Barolo as the wine of kings, the king of wines.

SW16517 1957 Porto Kopke Colheita
Port

Kopke is one of the most important port wine houses. The 1957 port matured in wooden barrels and was bottled in 1996 - as is usual with trustworthy producers, this information is also on the label.

Port wine is a sweet wine that comes exclusively from the Douro Valley. The name comes from the port city of Porto, from which the port has been shipped mainly to England since the end of the 17th century.
In the 17th century, the idea of ​​stopping wine fermentation by adding 80% wine distillate was developed. As a result, the sugar was not fermented any further and the wine retained its sweetness. This so-called fortification means that port wine has an alcohol content of between 19 and 22 percent by volume and lasts longer.
After a good two years of storage in a large barrel under airtight conditions, the Tawny Port is transferred to a small wooden barrel, the Pipa, with a capacity of 550 liters. Here it breathes (oxidizes) more and changes its color to tawny. Contact with the wood also changes the taste towards aromas of nuts, dried fruits etc. Standard Tawnys are filtered and bottled after 6-7 years.
Port wine is usually available as a non-vintage fortified wine. Only exceptionally good vintages such as 1957 are declared as a port wine vintage and allow the production of a tawny port or even a vintage port, i.e. a vintage port wine.

With the 1957 Porto Kopke Colheita comes a personal present meant for a person who is very special to you.
