Extremely youthful and as pristine as an alpine meadow through which flows a stream. Stunning concentration on the barely medium-bodied palate. The most delicate apricot aroma, too. You could spend hours studying all the filigreed details of this Saar dry riesling masterpiece. Extremely long and focused wet-stone finish. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Rausch GG is deep, pure, fresh and mineral on the intense, highly elegant and subtly citric as well as herbal nose. Full-bodied, dense and refined on the palate yet firmly and persistently structured, this is a rich and complex yet always pure, saline and mineral Rausch that bears great complexity and mineral tension yet should be cellared for at least another five years. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.

The 2023 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Grosses Gewächs was picked from the oldest parcel of the Rausch, featuring 140-year-old vines and a parcel of 50-year-old vines. Mango on the nose is framed by passionfruit foliage. The palate offers a streak of lemon on slate rocks, buffered slightly by creaminess, yet remains exquisitely slender and streamlined. Really light but wonderfully zesty at the core.
