About the Estate: The Zilliken Estate traces its roots back to 1742 making wine from top sites such as the Saarburger Rausch and the Ockfener Bockstein Vineyards. Today, Hanno Zilliken, owner and winemaker, is internationally recognized for his beautifully detailed and ethereal Rieslings.
Tasting Notes: Fresh floral aromas spun with pear and cassis tickles the nose. White peach, orange and lemon fill out the palate. It is tart and clean, with sleek composition and fine minerality throughout. The Butterfly can be served as an aperitif or as a wonderful food companion with your lighter fish, shellfish, pasta, chicken or salad preparations. Its finely structured acidity refreshes the palate and adds an extra dimension to your meal.
