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.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
