Located in the picturesque Saar region of Germany, the Zilliken winery has been producing exceptional Rieslings since the 18th century. From uncomplicated and fresh estate wines to elegant bottles destined to accompany fine meals, and even sweet, late harvest wines that will only begin to mature and develop ten years after harvest, Zilliken Rieslings are beloved by aficionados from New York to Tokyo.
Critics and wine enthusiasts alike rave about the quality of Zilliken's wines, with many proclaiming them as a "perpetual player in the international Champion's League of wine." It's no surprise, as the winery follows timeless tradition and uncompromisingly focuses on producing the finest Rieslings the world has to offer.
At Zilliken, we are not influenced by international trends and styles, instead, we stay true to our roots and the legacy passed down from our grandfather. Our labels, with the iconic butterfly emblem, remain the same as those used by our grandfather on his bottles. This attention to detail and commitment to tradition is reflected in every sip of our wines.
One of the things that sets Zilliken apart is our dedication to using only self-grown grapes in all our wines. From the Gutswein, our entry-level wine, to the Ortswein, which showcases the unique characteristics of each village, and the Grosse Lage, our single-vineyard wines, every bottle is a true representation of our estate. Our Rieslings are more than just pretty and polished, they shimmer and shine like diamonds, a testament to the quality of our grapes and the meticulous care that goes into every step of the winemaking process.
Only the best of our Rieslings make it to auction, a testament to their exceptional quality. Our dry Rieslings stand proudly alongside their better-known noble sweet counterparts, such as Auslese, Trockenbeeren-Auslese, and Eiswein, showcasing the versatility and excellence that can be found in every Zilliken bottle.
In a world where trends and fads come and go, Zilliken remains steadfast in our commitment to producing the finest Rieslings, staying true to our heritage and traditions. So the next time you raise a glass of Zilliken Riesling, remember that you are not just sipping on a wine, but a piece of history and a true masterpiece.
