2008 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Eiswein Versteigerung Geltz Zilliken, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2008 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Eiswein Versteigerung, Geltz Zilliken

The last ice wine produced at Zilliken is the 2008 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Eiswein, which offers a matured but still fruity and intense Riesling bouquet today (March 2018). Very elegant and lush on the palate, with remarkable acidity and good grip, this is a salty-piquant and terribly fresh Eiswein with concentrated and lingering apricot fruit. - Stephan Reinhardt, Apr. 2018

Mosel Fine Wines - 2008 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Eiswein Versteigerung, Geltz Zilliken

The 2008er Saarburger Rausch Eiswein was harvested at 163° Oechsle on December 30, 2008. Bright yellow-golden in color, this wine develops a stunning nose of apricot, peach, pineapple and coconut, before more typical notes from the Rausch including grapefruit, anise and chamomile join the party with airing. The wine proves superbly silky, creamy and refined on the palate and leaves a fruit-infused feel in the still quite sweet finish. This is a grandiose Eiswein developing superbly well. It will ultimately exceed our high expectations. 2023-2038. - Apr. 2018
