Tasting Note

Delicate aromas of ripe melon, lemon curd and meadow flowers and a cool herbal austerity open a nose of breathtaking beauty and elegance. Deep yet refined orange, passion fruit and candied lemon dance nimbly across the nearly vertical palate, while the grippy texture is redeemed by a pliable, persistent acidity. And the stunning saline and lemon-laced finish is so long that it’s hard to remember a time it didn’t exist. A fairytale wine in a fairytale vintage. One need not lay it down as long as Sleeping Beauty, but we do recommend at least 7-10 years before waking it with a kiss.

Product Notes

Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a delicious dry white wine from the Zilliken winery in Saarland, Germany. This wine is made from 100% Riesling grapes, which are grown on the steep slopes of the Saar River, where the cool climate and slate soils provide the ideal conditions for producing elegant, complex wines.

With its bright, golden color and aromas of peach, lemon, and flint, this wine is a delight for the senses. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with a mineral-driven acidity that balances the rich fruit flavors. The long finish is marked by a subtle touch of sweetness and a lingering hint of minerality.

Overall, Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a wonderful example of the precision and finesse that can be achieved with Riesling in the Saar region. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, from seafood and poultry to spicy Asian cuisine and creamy pasta dishes.
