2020 Selbach-Oster Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett Mosel

Winemaker Notes:  A family winery since 1600, Selbach-Oster’s wines have been associated with balanced, precise Mosel wines for many years. This Kabinett comes from their "home vineyard" of Zeltinger Himmelreich, just behind their village. Fermentation here is natural, mostly in old Mosel Fuder barrels, in a very old traditional cellar, right on the Mosel. Johannes Selbach always says a true Mosel Kabinett should taste like Mosel well water, and his Kabinetts always prove this statement's truth. Crisp, clear, and thirst quenching, ripe but never too sweet.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "From the steep and shallow as well as warm part of the cru, with less fine soils than the Schlossberg, the 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers a clear, pure and stony bouquet with rocky and flinty notes. Lush and elegant, refined and complex on the palate, this is an expressive, finely grippy and salivating Sonnenuhr Kabinett that is not really in a Kabinett style, but it's gorgeous and has age-worthy quality. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Rating: 93+"
