Il Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese della rinomata cantina Selbach-Oster è un vino tedesco di prestigio, proveniente dall'area della Mosella. Questo Riesling rappresenta l'epitome della raffinatezza, ottenuto da uve raccolte nel vigneto Sonnenfuhr, famoso per il suo terreno ricco di ardesia e per l'esposizione ideale al sole.

Di colore giallo dorato brillante, questo Auslese sfoggia un bouquet complesso e incantevole, con note predominanti di frutta matura, come pesche, albicocche e mela cotogna, accompagnate da sottili accenti di miele, fiori bianchi e minerali. Al palato, è un vino dolce, ma ben bilanciato grazie alla vibrante acidità che conferisce freschezza e longevità. La struttura è morbida e avvolgente, con un retrogusto lungo e persistente che lascia un'impressione di eleganza.

Questo Riesling Auslese si abbina magnificamente con piatti delicati e raffinati come foie gras, formaggi erborinati, dessert a base di frutta oppure può essere gustato da solo come vino da meditazione. La capacità di invecchiamento di questo vino è notevole, sviluppando ulteriori complessità e profondità con il passare degli anni.

Un'ottima scelta per chi cerca un vino dolce, equilibrato e con una personalità spiccata che racconta la storica tradizione vitivinicola della Mosella e l’attenzione meticolosa della cantina Selbach-Oster.

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.
