Zilliken has been making wine for centuries, literally, and they remain old school. Their cellars go three levels deep and remain around 48 degrees year-round (and no, there's no air conditioning or refrigeration). They make their wines in giant neutral German oak barrels known as fuders. For years, this was regarded as a quaint tradition, but now, of course, many top producers are abandoning their steel vats in favor of this more natural vessel. A key advantage of steel, of course, is that it is easy to keep the temperature down during fermentation—hardly a concern when you're ambient temperature is only 48 degrees!

The Zilliken style is explosive. Even in lesser vintages the wines will easily flood your senses with their power and intricacy. Yes, they. will all age beautifully, and anyone who loves German wines really should put away as much as possible

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2022 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Kabinett has a spicy grapefruit notion on the nose, enticing and savory. The palate immediately adds white pepper and ripe, juicy peaches, almost verging into compote, while white grapefruit tingles with its spice. There is something lip-smacking about this. Very moreish, yet totally serious. Clarity, poise and length are astonishing. (Medium)" -Anne Krebiehl

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"An opulent, concentrated version, with silky texture to the flavors of apricot preserves, ripe peach and preserved citrus rind. A fresh burst of lemon and dried thyme provides nice contrast and vividness, along with a dusting of fleur de sel and slate notes, while white tea tannins bring structure. Drink now through 2032. 1,672 cases made, 100 cases imported."

Wine Enthusiast

"This Kabinett switches on the treble, showing clarity to the peach, lemon, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg flavors. Opulent in texture and lively, but lacks the cohesion of the best in this group."
