Winery Selbach-Oster

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.

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.

Main premises in Zeltingen‑Rachtig in the Middle Mosel; vineyards located in historic crus of the Middle Mosel, on Devonian slate soils and steep slopes. Among the sites mentioned in public descriptions are parcels in Zeltingen, Wehlen, Graach and Bernkastel.

The winery is widely recognized in the international specialist press and has received numerous awards and favorable reviews over the years.
