This is our 2nd best selling German Riesling after Kesselstatt RK Riesling. Zilliken is an extremely sought-after producer and many connoisseurs are big fan of them. Their style is all about purity and elegance.
This is an off dry German Riesling. Bright and juicy, this butterfly soars high on citrus and floral wings. Playful, tangy flavours of lime and granny smith apple are heightened with refreshing accents of lemon balm. Good zesty and lively finish. Drinking beautifully now and will continue to develop over the next 1-3 years.
Food pairing: On its own or with most Chinese food, hawker food, mild spicy Indian or Thai green curry.
