The Zilliken Rausch Riesling Auslese 2018 is a fruity, sweet, graceful Riesling from the VDP.GROSSE LAGE Saarburger Rausch. The grapes grow on a unique soil formation characterized by Devonian slate and diabase. After 100% manual harvesting, the wine was aged in neutral Fuder barrels. Such an impressive, distinctive complexity of exotic fruit aromas and smoky minerality, accented by fragrant lily and rose notes, can only come from the steep slate slopes of the Rausch. The crystal-clear aromas of the Riesling Auslese appear so pure that each seems to fall individually into your outstretched hand like a ripe fruit from the wine. Purposeful acidity cuts through the richness like the beam of a lighthouse guiding ships safely into their home port on a stormy night in the Atlantic. Considerable maturation time will be rewarded.
The long finish reveals the concentration of the Riesling Auslese. On the palate, it feels weightless. With a moderate alcohol content of 8%, it is an ideal accompaniment to game or foie gras terrines. When aged, the Riesling Auslese 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 truly shows its full potential after 10-20 years of bottle aging. Try it out; we also have aged Rieslings from Weingut Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken in stock. Or you can practice patience, as the future of Zilliken Riesling Auslese looks rosy.
Incidentally, our cellar is cooled in summer and heated in winter by a geothermal heat pump powered by a photovoltaic system, so that the wine can mature optimally.
2018 was a summer of the century in Germany with countless hours of sunshine. A sunny summer without great heat, which caused no drought stress for the vines, which had enjoyed abundant rain in May. Due to the consistently sunny weather, the harvest began unusually early, on September 24th. "Seldom were the vineyards full of such golden grapes," Dorothee Zilliken tells us. The fantastic autumn enabled the single berry selection for noble sweet Rieslings, like this Riesling Auslese. The dry Rieslings from 2018 are juicy, mineral, and approachable – tropical aromas paired with classic Saar elegance.
Do you know that feeling? You return from your holiday with a bottle of olive oil from Portugal in your suitcase, a jar of fruit spread from South Tyrol, perhaps a bar of chocolate from a small factory in France – and you ask yourself: Why can't I find something like this at home? We asked ourselves the very same question. Over and over again.
We are Kerstin and Stephan Uhlenbusch from Nordhorn, a small town on the German-Dutch border in Lower Saxony. We have always been connoisseurs. On our travels through Europe, we made the most wonderful culinary discoveries: mountain apple juices from the South Tyrolean highlands, Breton barrel butter, handmade pasta from Italy, French sea salt, and much more. It was never the grand luxury products that fascinated us, but rather the honest, artisan foods made by people who are wholeheartedly dedicated to their products.
In 2002, we decided to turn this passion into our profession. We wanted to make good food accessible to as many people as possible – not just to those who are lucky enough to shop directly from producers. This is how "nur Gutes" (only Good Things) was born, initially as a local delicatessen in Nordhorn, and soon after as one of the first gourmet online shops in Germany.
Our name is also our philosophy: With us, you'll find only good things. Period.
What distinguishes us from many other online shops is not just our product range, but above all our expertise and our network. Kerstin was the managing director of the association of leading delicatessen merchants in Germany – the industry association that unites the best owner-managed delicatessens in the country. In this role, she not only accompanied but actively shaped the German delicatessen industry. With the deli Festival, we also launched our own B2B trade fair for delicacies, which for years brought together producers, traders, and restaurateurs from all over Europe – a culinary salon of the highest class.
Through this many years of work at the heart of the German delicatessen industry, we have built up a unique network – with producers, traders, restaurateurs, and artisan food makers from all over Europe.
What does that mean for you as a customer? It's simple: We know our industry like few others. For more than two decades, we have built relationships with small manufacturers and passionate producers – directly, personally, and on an equal footing. Chambers of Commerce and economic development agencies from all over Europe regularly introduce us to new, exciting producers who want to offer their products on the German market. This network allows us to offer you products that you won't find in any supermarket and hardly any other online shop.
In our gourmet delivery service, you will find a carefully curated selection of fine foods, delicacies, wines, non-alcoholic beverages, and selected kitchen and home accessories. We carry approximately 9,000 items from manufacturers and producers in Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, England, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Greece, and the USA.
The range of our fine food assortment extends from exquisite basic ingredients to special gourmet moments. Whether you are looking for a high-quality extra virgin olive oil from Portugal, genuine Aceto Balsamico from Modena, Fleur de Sel from the Breton coast, or handmade spice blends – you will find it here. Our shelves are filled with fine fruit spreads and jams, aromatic honey, truffle delicacies, chutneys and mustard sauces, first-class canned fish such as vintage sardines and tuna, risotto rice, handmade pasta, and much more.
Our fresh delivery service brings delicacies like the legendary Beurre Bordier from Brittany, Italian burrata, the finest salami, or fresh bread directly to your home – securely packaged and chilled.
Our wine selection is particularly close to our hearts. In the nur Gutes wine online shop, you won't find wines from all over the world, but from winemakers and wineries that we have personally visited and whose work we appreciate. Wine is a matter of trust, and we extend this trust to you. Whether it's white wine from Rheinhessen or the Palatinate, red wine from Austria or Burgenland, rosé for the barbecue season, natural wine for the adventurous, or sparkling champagne for special moments – here you will find quality that we stand behind with our name.
Many of our winemakers work organically or biodynamically. We support them on their journey and are delighted to share this development with our customers. Because good wine can not only taste excellent but also be produced in an environmentally friendly way, with respect for nature.
What makes a product a "nur Gutes" product? We ask ourselves this question for every single item we add to our range. And the answer cannot be reduced to a single factor – it's a combination of craftsmanship, origin, ingredients, and the passion of the people behind it.
We ask many questions before a product finds its way into our shop. How is it made? Where do the raw materials come from? What philosophy does the manufacturer pursue? How limited is its availability? We quickly notice whether we are hearing marketing jargon or if a producer is happy to explain their journey and why they do what they do and how. This is exactly the enthusiasm we seek – and we find it again and again in the people behind our products.
Our quality criteria can be summarized as follows:
Artisanal Production: We prefer products from small manufactories and family businesses that often produce their culinary treasures by hand for generations. The careful processing and artisanal skill can be tasted in every bite.
Best Ingredients: For us, good quality begins with the raw materials. Whether fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, or grain – we ensure that our manufacturers rely on first-class, as natural as possible ingredients. A good ecological footprint characterizes the products we carry.
Origin and Regionality: We value products with a clear regional identity. A South Tyrolean mountain apple juice, consisting only of slow-ripened, old apple varieties. A Portuguese olive oil from trees that have shaped the landscape for centuries. These stories of origin make delicacies what they are.
Personal relationship with the manufacturer: We buy directly from the producer whenever possible. We have known many of our suppliers personally for years, some for over two decades. We visit them, taste together, and exchange ideas. This closeness is important to us because it guarantees transparency and trust.
And of course: The taste. At the end of the day, it has to taste good. We try all products ourselves – not just with a spoon when they are new, but again and again while cooking, at the table, on the plate. Only what convinces us, what we can call "nur Gutes," will you find in our shop. Our quality begins where the supermarket ends.
Regionality, sustainability, ecological and fair farming – for us, these are not buzzwords to be inserted into a text for search engine optimization. It is our DNA. Since day one.
When we talk about sustainability, we primarily mean one thing: respect. Respect for nature, for raw materials, for the people who produce our food, and for animals. This respect is reflected in many small and large decisions we make every day.
When selecting our products, we ensure that our manufacturers operate responsibly. Many of our producers are organically certified, others pursue sustainable approaches without carrying the official seal – because they act out of conviction, not because the market demands it.
For shipping and packaging, we try to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. We send your order safely and break-proof – which is a real challenge for an assortment ranging from wine bottles to chip bags, jam jars, and kitchenware. Nevertheless, we pay attention to resource-saving packaging materials and avoid unnecessary waste wherever possible.
We actively combat food waste. Products with a short best-before date or minor packaging damage are offered in our sale section at reduced prices. Because "best before" does not mean "expired from" – and it would be a shame to simply throw away carefully produced delicatessen. Become a food saver and perhaps discover your new favorite product in the process.
What brings us the most joy in our work is accompanying true passionates on their journey. People whose drive it is to make a good product even better. Some of them have been with us since our founding – for over twenty years.
There's Thomas Kohl with his unique mountain apple juices from South Tyrol, made from old, slowly ripened apple varieties. Stefan Gruber and the wonderful Alpe Pragas fruit spreads. Stéphane and his Bonnat chocolates from France. Antonio Duarte from Monterosa and his outstanding Portuguese olive oil. Christina from Il Borgo del Balsamico. Johan Bülow and his famous Lakrids. Uwe König from the Bergisches Land, who, together with his wife, produces fruit spreads, mustard, and chutneys in small quantities in his Königskind gourmet manufactory – just like homemade. Susanne Backes-Keck from the Truffle Manufactory in Bavarian-Swabian Offingen, who has been processing hand-picked truffles into truffle delicacies since 2008.
These are just a few examples among many. Behind every product in our shop stands a person, a family, a story. And it is precisely these stories that make the difference between an interchangeable food and a true delicacy.
We know: buying fine food online is a matter of trust. That's why we do everything we can to ensure your shopping experience with us is completely positive.
Personal advice: We are not an anonymous platform. Behind nur Gutes are real people whom you can reach at any time with questions. Whether you're looking for a recommendation for a special gift, want to know which wine pairs with your planned menu, or need advice on a specific product – we are happy and enthusiastic to help you.
Secure packaging: With over 20 years of experience in gourmet shipping, we know exactly how to safely deliver even the most delicate products to your home. Wine bottles, glasses, chip bags, and kitchenware arrive as they should: undamaged and ready to enjoy. Our delivery accuracy is 99.9 percent.
Fast shipping: We ship your order quickly and reliably. Shipping is free for orders over 99 Euros.
Trusted Shops certified: Your security is important to us. Our shop is Trusted Shops certified, and you can conveniently pay by invoice, PayPal, credit card, or instant bank transfer.
Gifts and hampers: Are you looking for a special gift for a connoisseur? We put together individual gift baskets and presents – for every occasion and every taste. From a small token of appreciation to a grand gourmet gift: you'll find the right thing with us.
In the more than 20 years since our founding, much has changed – and at the same time, much has remained the same. Our commitment to quality, our passion for good food, and our personal interaction with customers and producers are the same today as they were on day one.
What has changed is the way we work. The stationary delicatessen in Nordhorn's city center has become an online shop shipping throughout Germany, with a modern operating building. In our warehouse, we efficiently and systematically organize around 8,000 items so that your order arrives quickly and correctly. But our physical store in Nordhorn is still there – if you're in the area, feel free to visit us in person. Here you can discover and taste products, and receive personal advice.
Over the years, we have learned what quality truly means. What makes a fine food product special, in its production and origin. This knowledge flows into every single item we select for you.
Whether you want to order fine foods online, are looking for a special wine, want to put together a gift for a loved one, or simply want to enrich your kitchen with high-quality ingredients: nur Gutes is the right place for you.
We look forward to taking you on a culinary journey of discovery. Through our assortment, which unites the best manufacturers in Europe. Through taste experiences that enrich everyday life. And through the certainty that behind every product lies a story worth telling.
Browse through our gourmet delivery service, let yourself be inspired, and conveniently order your favorite products to your home. Because in the end, it's all about one thing: enjoying.
Welcome to nur Gutes.
