The Selbach family has cultivated Mosel vines since 1661, and their mastery shows in this approachable Feinherb. "Feinherb" means off-dry—a traditional German style with just enough sweetness to balance the wine's bright acidity. From 85% steep slate slopes, you get that unmistakable Mosel minerality alongside orchard fruit and citrus. A crowd-pleaser that works beautifully with spicy foods or as a refreshing aperitif.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90

"The 2023 Riesling feinherb, picked in the Zeltinger Himmelreich and Kinheimer Rosenberg, opens with a floral creaminess that promises peach. The superbly light palate is both stony and ethereal, anchored in slate yet taking off with creamy, tender peach delineated in freshness. Despite its residual sweetness, it still comes across as dry." -Anne Krebiehl

Wine Spectator

WS 90

"A firming layer of crushed slate sits beneath juicy peach and citrus blossoms in this mineral-rich Riesling. Just subtly off-dry, this shows impressive purity and is refreshing and vibrant throughout. Drink now through 2030. 200 cases imported." -Kristen Bieler

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
