25 Years of Rutz \u2013 Written in Wine<\/h2>\n

In the beginning, there was wine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before Rutz became a restaurant, it was a wine bar \u2013 the origin of our ethos, our way of thinking, our passion. Bottles became stories, conversations became relationships, and over the years we developed a shared language with our winemakers. <\/p>\n

25 years on, we\u2019re not just looking back \u2013 we\u2019re opening bottles once more: wines from defining years in Rutz\u2019s history, vintages that have accompanied us \u2013 from our opening to our Michelin stars, from our first steps to our hard-won convictions.<\/p>\n

There are bottles that you don\u2019t simply open. We have two good reasons for doing so: our 25th anniversary and the sixth confirmation of our third star. <\/p>\n

We have \u2018remastered\u2019 our dishes for the anniversary \u2013 ideas from 25 years, reinterpreted with today\u2019s experience. These wines never needed that. They have always been exactly what they are. Time has merely revealed what lay within them: the weather, the atmosphere, the quiet energy of the vintage \u2013 becoming visible layer by layer. <\/p>\n

Curated by Sebastian H\u00f6pfner, we are opening five wines from years that have shaped Rutz \u2013 years of our first guests, our first \u2018Pass\u2019 moments, our first stars. Today, we taste just how far we have come. <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2001 \u2013 Launch<\/h5>\n

Riesling Auslese \u00b7 Karth\u00e4userhof \u00b7 Trier \u00b7 Mosel<\/strong>
\npaired with pear & toasted koji, oxalic acid<\/em><\/p>\n

Two decades in the cellar have given this Riesling what only time can bestow: a petrol-like depth, precise sweetness, and an acidity that transforms into a sense of longing. A wine that knows the price of beginnings. With the pear, the koji and the oxalic acid \u2013 three expressions of maturation \u2013 the circle is complete. <\/p>\n

2004 \u2013 Marco M\u00fcller arrives<\/h5>\n

Riesling Sp\u00e4tlese Herrkretz \u00b7 Wagner-Stempel \u00b7 Siefersheim \u00b7 Rheinhessen<\/strong>
\npaired with sand-roasted carrot & chicken skin, tarragon<\/em><\/p>\n

Volcanic red slate, subtle fruit: peach, apricot, delicate residual sweetness. A wine that supports without dominating. It complements the natural sweetness of the sand carrot and prolongs it throughout the course. <\/p>\n

2007 \u2013 First Star<\/h5>\n

Riesling P. C. Wachenheimer Rechb\u00e4chel \u00b7 Dr. B\u00fcrklin-Wolf \u00b7 Wachenheim \u00b7 Pfalz<\/strong>
\npaired with rabbit & nasturtium, white beetroot<\/em><\/p>\n

Premier Cru from red sandstone and limestone. A warm year, ripe phenols, clear structure. The peppery sharpness of the nasturtium and the tart sweetness of the white beetroot find their perfect complement in the wine \u2013 precise, supportive, focused. <\/p>\n

2016 \u2013 Second Star<\/h5>\n

Riesling Erste Lage Biengarten \u00b7 \u00d6konomierat Rebholz \u00b7 Siebeldingen \u00b7 Pfalz<\/strong>
\npaired with tomato & spring trout, whey<\/em><\/p>\n

Grown biodynamically on shell limestone, this wine combines minerality with ripe fruit. The 2016 vintage displays both clarity and depth. In harmony with the umami structure of tomato, trout and whey, a dialogue of calm and precision emerges. <\/p>\n

2020 \u2013 Third Star<\/h5>\n

Blaufr\u00e4nkisch Ried Gem\u00e4rk \u00b7 Weingut Ernst Triebaumer \u00b7 Rust \u00b7 Burgenland<\/strong>
\npaired with lamb & wild chives, lettuce, dashi<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2020, the world stood still. Three stars emerged. The Blaufr\u00e4nkisch embodies this tension: delicate, dark, spicy, patient. It does not impose itself \u2013 it simply remains. Just like this moment itself, which took time to gain significance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9618,"template":"","standort":[129],"class_list":["post-9622","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","standort-rutz-restaurant"],"acf":{"veranstaltungsdetails":{"":null,"anfangsdatum":"20260629","anfangszeit":"18:00:00","enddatum":"20260717","endzeit":"23:00:00","hauptstandort":[129],"veranstaltungslink":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/event\/25-years-in-wine\/#zc-action-open","weitere_informationen":{"button-url":"","button-text":"Book now!","linkziel":["Aktuelles Fenster"]},"preisangaben":[{"preis":167,"leistungsbeschreibung":"7 glass wine pairing"},{"preis":186,"leistungsbeschreibung":"8 glass wine pairing"},{"preis":206,"leistungsbeschreibung":"9 glass wine pairing"}],"status":"Geplant"}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/9622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"standort","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rutz-restaurant.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/standort?post=9622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
