Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken Auf der Rausch GG 2018 Dry Riesling JS96

Experience the Elegance of Zilliken’s Debut Masterpiece: 2018 Mosel Riesling

Discover a truly captivating expression of German Riesling with Zilliken’s remarkable 2018 vintage, sourced from the renowned slopes of the Mosel region. Awarded an outstanding 96 Points by James Suckling, this inaugural release sets a high bar. Critics celebrate its alluring aromatic profile – imagine delicate notes of white tea, vibrant candied orange peel, and sophisticated bergamot dancing from the glass.

What truly distinguishes this low-alcohol white wine (finishing at just 11%) is its extraordinary balance. Experience a startling combination of intense concentration and an ethereal, silky lightness on the palate. This unique character was achieved through meticulous sur-lie aging for 18 months in traditional wooden barrels, a process which naturally reduced its alcohol content while enhancing complexity.

The result is a polished Riesling boasting an exceptionally long, refined finish. Its vibrant acidity and concentrated fruit ensure excellent aging potential, making it a perfect choice for collectors seeking wines to hold. Yet, its approachable elegance and lower alcohol also make it an ideal selection for immediate enjoyment with seafood, poultry, or simply savoring on its own.

Seek out this exceptional first vintage from Weingut Zilliken – a benchmark Mosel Riesling offering sophistication and versatility for discerning wine lovers.
