Große Lage (Grand Cru) vineyard Saarburger Rausch. This delicately fruity, juicy and invigorating Saar-Riesling from Weingut Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken, from the excellent 2023 vintage for Kabinett Rieslings, is characterized by a lively interplay between fruit and acidity. Delicate aromas of tropical and local fruits, white peach and ripe Williams pear meet grapefruit, mango and apricot and are underpinned by an elegant layer of slate smoke. Juicy on the palate, with lively acidity and hints of discrete herbaceousness. But do not be fooled, the full power of the Rausch vineyard shows itself in the quiet fullness, deep minerality, and persistent nature of this single-vineyard Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZilliken Rausch Kabinett 2023 – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.0% Alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e58 g\/l Residual Sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.6 g\/l Acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a moderate alcohol content of 8.0%, it is an ideal accompaniment to light dishes with chicken or fish, to sushi or scallops, or to spicy Asian cuisine.
