Selbach Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Kabinett 2020

#1 Seller @ Our Alsace vs Germany Riesling Tasting!!! 

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

An enormously refreshing Kabinett that’s got a ton of herbal and mineral character. So much drive on the sleek, pristine palate. A very strong wine for 9% alcohol. Drink or hold.

A seductive, extroverted style, with bruised apple and quince offset by grapefruit pith bitterness on a glossy, decadent palate. Shows chalky mineral accents, which bring nice firmness and spine through the finish.
