Selbach Oster, Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling 2019
The quality that the Mosel is capable of, is very apparent in this exquisite, modern Riesling. By allowing the terroir to express itself, with minimal intervention, this wine is lush, full-bodied and considered one of the top Rieslings of the region.
Characteristics
Tasting notes
The grapes are picked early to keep the potential alcohol in check while providing great fruit and acidity for the backbone. Slate, sweet ripe fruit, citrus, and minerality on the nose along with a hint of yeastiness. Fruit and acidity notable on the palate along with salinity. Rich, long finish.
Gastronomy
Perfect on its own as an aperitif or with spicy food, shellfish, stews, cured meats, cheese and fruits. A top-quality wine for every day and all seasons.
Vineyards
These vineyards of weathered Devonian slate are on a steep, contiguous slope facing south-southwest and represent some of the most prestigious sites in all of the Middle Mosel.
Aging method
Vinification is carried out in a combination of fuder and stainless steel, in a hands-off manner with no fining, and predominantly with wild yeasts. Minimal interference and natural approach.
