"It had been two long years since I last had the pleasure to taste this monumental dessert wine from Hanno Zilliken, and the wine has lost nothing over that time, and remains one of the most brilliant bottles of TBA that I have ever had the pleasure to taste. The magical and celestial bouquet delivers a mélange of pineapple, candied lemon, guava, bee pollen, tangerine, a brilliant base of slate-derived minerality and a lovely new touch of leather. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, medium-full and very light on its feet, with racy acids, superb focus and cut, and a profoundly long, dancing finish. For the amount of botrytis that this wine carries, its delicacy and haunting purity are utterly remarkable."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
