The Saarburg Rausch Riesling Kabinett 2022 from the Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken winery is a prime example of the elegance and finesse that a great Kabinett from the Saar region can possess. On the nose, a multifaceted interplay of aromas unfolds: white peach, ripe apricot, and candied lemon, underscored by floral nuances, delicate herbal spice, and a hint of flint, reflecting the slate character of the terroir. On the palate, it reveals a breathtaking balance between fruity sweetness and lively, precise acidity, lending it a dancing lightness. Notes of juicy mirabelle plum, honeydew melon, and lime are carried by a saline minerality that culminates in a long, vibrant finish. Its delicate structure and low alcohol content make it the perfect accompaniment to refined dishes, but it is also a delight on its own. An archetypal Saar Kabinett with great aging potential, it is already a delight to enjoy.
