Description

The Selbach Olster Winery obtains this Riesling from grapes from a late harvest; the vines of the Sonnenuhr vineyard are grown on slate-rich soils located on a rocky slope.

With a golden yellow color to the eye, this wine offers to the nose an ample and decisive bouquet punctuated by clear fruity hints of ripe apples and apricots, aromas of brown sugar and notes of honey. A complex and rich sip, with a pleasant density and vibrant acidity.

A very enjoyable wine right away, perfect in combination with oriental cuisine and blue cheeses.

Winery history

The family has been involved in Moselle viticulture for centuries. The present-day estate is the result of family traditions and a reorganization in the 20th century; ownership and management have remained in family hands, with Johannes Selbach at the head of the modern estate. Over time Selbach‑Oster has gained an international reputation for its expressions of Riesling from single-cru sites in the Mittelmosel.

Production philosophy

The estate favors simplicity and care for the fruit: minimal intervention in the cellar, fermentations carried out almost exclusively with indigenous yeasts, extended maturation on the lees, and a strong focus on vineyard quality.
