Geltz/Zilliken Saarburger Riesling Old Vines dry

Old vines on the Saar deliver more than just grapes — they deliver concentration. The Saarburger Riesling Alte Reben trocken from Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken shows exactly that: dense minerality, clear structure, long finish.

Weingut Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken is one of the reference addresses of the Saar. Based in Saarburg for generations, the Zilliken family cultivates steep slopes on Devonian slate — including the famous Saarburger Rausch. The old vines fight their way deep into the slate soil, which provides the wines with depth and tension even in difficult vintages.

In the glass, the wine shows aromas of white peach, citrus peel, and wet slate. The acidity is precise and invigorating without stinging — typical for the cool Saar sites. The finish is salty-mineral with a hint of dried herbs.
