    Forstmeister Geltz-Zillziken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese 2012 captivates with its bright golden yellow color with silver reflections and is an outstanding example of the elegance of Saar Riesling. Characterized by the unique terroir of the Saarburger Rausch, this vintage combines the delicate fruit aromas of ripe apricots, yellow apples, and candied lemon with delicate notes of blossom honey. The minerality of slate lends the wine depth and complexity. The Geltz-Zilliken winery is known for its precise, long-lasting Rieslings, and this Auslese showcases the exceptional skill that lies in every sip. The tasting reveals a clear, lively structure, where the sweet fruit notes are perfectly balanced with lively, fresh acidity. The result is a lean, playful wine with depth and finesse that will develop its full potential until at least 2040.

    A true delight with goose liver, Asian cuisine with sweet and spicy elements, or even on its own as a meditation wine. It has now reached optimal drinking maturity, but the wine has impressive cellaring potential and can continue to age for many years. For wine lovers seeking a unique taste experience, this Riesling is an absolute highlight. Enjoy this wine in a convivial setting or on special occasions and be captivated by its refinement.

    LIFE BEFORE...

    Where possible, and especially with larger wine cellar purchases, the wine cellars of the previous owners tell us a lot about the storage conditions of the wines. A professionally managed wine cellar usually guarantees perfect storage conditions for the wines. We acquire our wines exclusively from reputable, mostly private wine collectors.

    HIDDEN FEATURES

    Many high-quality wines today feature various security features for authentication, such as markings that only become visible under UV light. We check and compare all purchased wines for these features using an extensive database, and if there is even the slightest doubt, we reject the wine.

    THE DETAILS MATTER

    We examine wine labels under a microscope to determine their quality, and we check the printed image for any peculiarities that are typical for a particular winery, wine, or vintage. We draw on a large image database to identify any anomalies.

    COLOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

    Last but not least, we also examine the wine's composition. Color, turbidity, sediment, and the bubbles in a champagne reveal a lot about the wine's or champagne's condition and potential drinking pleasure.
