The grapes grow on a unique soil formation characterized by Devonian slate and diabase. After 100% hand harvesting, the wine was aged in neutral fuder barrels. This very dense, extract-rich Saar Riesling from Weingut Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken, made from shriveled, hand-selected berries, convinces with fully ripe peach and date fruit, accompanied by vibrant floral notes, some vegetal hints like fresh spring moss, and the typical wet stone minerality of the Saar. A Riesling Auslese which, despite 100g of residual sugar, possesses a tightly laced acidic corset and leaves an almost refreshing impression on the palate. The Zilliken Rausch Riesling Auslese 2015 is a wine full of power and opulence, with a very long and brilliant future ahead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRausch Auslese 2015 – a wine and its characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.5% Alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100g\/l Residual Sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.6g\/l Acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZilliken Riesling – awarded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e94 Points Mosel Fine Wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e92+ Points John Gilman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long finish reveals the concentration of this Riesling Auslese. On the tongue, it feels weightless. With a moderate alcohol content of 7.5%, it is an ideal companion for game or foie gras terrines. When aged, it pairs well with spicy Asian dishes or sweet desserts without too much acidity. And, of course, with aged cheeses from cow, goat, or sheep. Even though it is captivating when young, it only reveals its full potential after 10-20 years of bottle aging.

During the harvest, Weingut Zilliken also enjoyed excellent harvesting weather, which enabled intensive selection. The balanced ratio of fruit and acid structure is what makes the 2015 Riesling Auslese so appealing. With its high ripeness and impeccably clean botrytis, we compare this vintage to the great 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53073785061710,"sku":"007ZIL0004","price":57.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/zilliken-rausch-riesling-auslese-2015.jpg?v=1751009220","url":"https:\/\/nurgutes.de\/en\/products\/zilliken-rausch-riesling-auslese-2015","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
