2019 Saarburg RAUSCH Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Geltz Zilliken, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (1,5l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2019 Saarburg RAUSCH Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Geltz Zilliken

Tasted as a pretty clear and finished sample in April 2020, Zilliken's 2019 Rausch GG opens with a generously aromatic yet elegant and well balanced bouquet of fruit and slate aromas with a kiss of Traminer. Dense and mouthfilling on the palate, with a certain astringency on the finish, this is a pretty sweetish GG with elegance and texture. It is mouthfilling and salty-piquant on the crystalline finish. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2020

Mosel Fine Wines - 2019 Saarburg RAUSCH Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Geltz Zilliken

The 2019er Saarburger Rausch Riesling Trocken GG was fermented spontaneously in a traditional Fuder cask. It offers a rather subdued nose made of wet stone, pear, white peach, minty and creamy elements, and smoke. The wine proves beautifully subtle and elegant on the juicy but not bone-dry palate and leaves an aminating feel of pear sorbet, tea, whipped cream, starfruit, a hint of apricot, and fine spices in the long and precise finish. This gorgeous wine driven by subtly ripe elegance will develop even more nuances with a few years of bottle aging. 2023-2029. - Nov. 2020
