Zilliken Riesling Butterfly 2019

The chilly Saar valley had a run-in with spring frost in 2019. In summer, the wines had to endure several weeks of no rain, and two extremely hot days caused a bit of sunburn on the grapes. But strict selective harvesting eliminated any damaged fruit from the fermenters. The finished wines have a very fine fruitiness with lively, ripe acidity and that classic Saar minerality. They are already quite a pleasure to drink.
