Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Germany, 2021

Overview of the Wine
We work with Nature, not against her. And for many years now, Nature has blessed the Saar with ideal conditions: a cool climate and a long fruit set. Even in an age of global warming and an increasing number of grand Saar vintages, we continue to enjoy one of the longest fruit sets when compared with our colleagues in southern regions. We believe a slow, steady ripening is the key to exceptional aromatics.

We consciously limit our yields in this prized vineyard to a maximum of 50 hl/ha in order to guarantee the best possible complexity and quality. The Spätlese and Auslese wines work with significantly lower yields. This of course does limit the supply of these internationally renowned wines. 'Quality not quality' is more than just a platitude to us. It's a philosophy we believe in from beginning to end. It guides our decisions. We do one thing — Riesling — and we do it right.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Exotic & local fruits - apple, pear, and passion fruit - delight the nose. Juicy, ripe pineapple, supported by the dainty acidity of oranges and the ethereal nuances of mint and lemon thyme, reveals itself in the mouth. A long, delicate finish rounds off the brilliant drinking pleasure and simultaneously encourages the next sip. 

94 Points - Falstaff
A multi-layered wine that is very complex despite its youthfulness. The minerality and the extract, backed by substantial acidity, give it seriousness and its harmony makes it big. A wine with potential.
