Zilliken - 2009 - Zilliken Rausch Auslese Riesling - 750 ml.

Zilliken Rausch Auslese Riesling is a 2009 vintage white wine from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany. Producer: Zilliken. Supplier-listed varietal/composition: Riesling. Format: 750 ml.

Auslese comes from selected bunches left on the vine past the general harvest, several rungs up Germany's ripeness scale from Kabinett. This Riesling was made in 2009 from the Rausch vineyard above Saarburg. Zilliken matures its wines in a deep cellar cut into the slate below the town, cold enough that fermentations there run slowly.
