Description
Zilliken's Rausch Riesling Spätlese belongs to the Saar tradition of white wines in which fruit sweetness meets the freshness of Riesling. It comes from Saarburger Rausch, a vineyard central to the estate's history. Here the vines encounter Devonian slate and diabase, a volcanic rock that contributes to the site's particular identity. The family associates this ground with the mineral character and elegance of its Rieslings. The cuvée interprets that origin in the Spätlese category, offering a distinct expression alongside the dry wines from the same vineyard while keeping its source central to the story.
