Saarburger Rausch, Riesling, Auslese, Goldkap,

A wondrous mix of air-dried dried ripeness and noble botrytis, the Zillikens consider 2005 to rank amongst their best vintages – a year in which they bottled and released the full spectrum of styles, surpassing even 2010 and 2015. Dazzling with high levels of concentration and acidity, almost dangerously youthful despite it nearing 20 years old, showing a complex mix of golden fruits, hints of white truffle, grated pineapple and serious core of smoky, cool slate notes. Long, vital and brilliant.
