Forester Geltz Zilliken

The name "Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken" pays homage to Johann Philipp Geltz, a respected forester and forester who managed the winery in the mid-19th century. Under his leadership, the vineyards were further expanded and improved, and the winery gained a reputation for its wines.

The winery's origins date back to the 18th century, when it was founded by the Zilliken family in the picturesque Saar region. The family began cultivating wine on the region's unique soils and nurtured their vineyards with great dedication.

The wines produced here are pure poetry in a bottle. Every drop tells the story of the soil where the vines are rooted and the climate that shapes them. The Rieslings from forester Geltz Zilliken are an expression of purity and finesse. In them, sweet nuances blend with lively acidity to create a harmony that enchants the senses. The aromas are like a kaleidoscopic play of the senses: ripe fruit, citrus-like freshness, and a subtle minerality that recalls the unique character of the Saar region.

Over the decades, forester Geltz Zilliken cemented his reputation as a leading producer of Riesling wines. The Zilliken family focused on the Riesling grape variety, which thrived particularly well in the mineral-rich soils of the Saar region. Their wines are prized for their elegance, finesse, and unique terroir.
