Zilliken Rausch Riesling Spatlese 2020 – Award-Winning German White Wine

Weingut Zilliken’s 2020 Riesling from Germany’s Mosel region is a masterclass in precision and balance, earning its place among top-tier German wines with a stellar 95-point rating from James Suckling. Crafted from late-harvest grapes in the mineral-rich Saar vineyards, this Riesling delivers an exquisite interplay of vibrant fruit and crisp acidity—a hallmark of its terroir-driven heritage.

From the first sip, tropical and citrus notes take center stage, with hints of jasmine and orchid adding a subtle floral elegance. The palate unfolds with layers of ripe passion fruit, juicy lemon, and melon, framed by a creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with racy acidity. This late-picked Riesling strikes an impressive equilibrium between sweetness and brightness, creating a harmonious finish that lingers long on the tongue.

Ideal for savoring alongside spicy Asian dishes or creamy cheeses, its 7.5% alcohol content makes it approachable yet complex enough for discerning wine lovers. Whether you’re seeking an award-winning addition to your collection or a standout pairing for your next dinner party, this Mosel Riesling showcases Weingut Zilliken’s expertise in capturing the essence of their iconic region. A rare blend of finesse and intensity, it stands apart for its purity of flavor and the meticulous craftsmanship behind every bottle.
