Selbach-Oster Riesling Kabinett 2019
(Mosel, Germany) - [JS 90]

About the Wine:

Since 1661 the Selbach family has owned vineyards in the Mosel region. Their main treasure is simply what nature presents us with: excellent vineyard-sites, and old, ungrafted vines on steep, south-facing slopes planted on heat-retaining, mineral-rich, rocky slate soil. Their philosophy of winemaking is "hands-on" in the vineyards and "hands-off" in the cellar. Most of Selbach Oster wines are still fermented and matured in the traditional oak "Fuder"-barrels supplemented by a small number of stainless-steel vats. They do not use new oak for Rieslings to preserve the delicate structure of subtle fruit and crisp acidity as purely as possible

90 Points - James Suckling:

A refreshing, harmonious dry riesling with a food-friendly personality. Delicate herbal and white-fruit notes and a crisp finish.
