The rare find — the only intact bottle with liquid from that era ever discovered in the state — was later brought to High West Distillery. The wine cache was found at Bečov Castle in the western Czech Republic, a nearly-700-year-old medieval fortress dating to the early 14th century.the alcohol Bečov Castle, near the German border, was confiscated by then-Czechoslovakia after World War II because its owners, the Beaufort-Spontin family, were labeled Nazi sympathizers.
A collection of 133 bottles of wine dating from 1892 to 1899 is now on display at Bečov Castle after careful restoration by Château d'Yquem. The wine was stored in an old underground chapel with thick walls that was"very humid and very cold" — conditions that El Khawand said were ideal for preserving it.
"It preserved the moisture and temperature in a very constant way," he said. "Those were excellent conditions to store a wine. "The restoration was so careful that preservationists even kept the dust that had accumulated on the bottles, El Khawand said. Officials recently unveiled a cache of 130-year-old wine that had been hidden beneath a chapel floor at Bečov Castle for decades.
The bottles were discovered in 1985 after an American businessman hired by the Beaufort-Spontin family sought permission to recover a hidden object, prompting authorities to uncover the cache.
