400+ years of documented family winemaking, with ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines over 100 years old growing on steep Devonian blue slate. The Zeltinger Schlossberg enjoys similar thermal privilege to the legendary Bernkasteler Doctor—south-facing slopes above the Mosel River bend. Johannes Selbach crafts wines of remarkable precision and longevity. This 2010 Spätlese showcases the vintage's perfect balance of ripeness and acidity.

Antonio Galloni

"Pale golden yellow. Rich bouquet of candied apricot, ginger and nut oil over honeyed botrytis. The rich, juicy pineapple fruit and crisp slate animate the subtle, creamy palate. With excellent balance and a seductive finish, this auslese shows considerable promise." —Joel B. Payne

Robert Parker

"An apple cider, Persian melon, and nut oil matrix inflected with smoky buckwheat and stone characterizes the block-picked, Pradikat-free Selbach-Oster 2010 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Schmitt. The sense of layering reflecting pickings of green-gold and variously botrytized fruit definitely comes through, along with persistently savory and mineral intrigue, though it will be fascinating to witness whether over the next couple of decades this gains a greater sense of clarity and focus. “These are the rough-cut, unpolished jewels from our best vineyards,” says Johannes Selbach of his three block-picked bottlings." —David Schildknecht

Wine Spectator

"Elegant and peachy-tasting, showing notes of apple and spice, with interesting ripe citrus notes. The bright finish features dried apricot."

More about Selbach-Oster

Twenty-four hectares of steep slate vineyards on the "golden mile" between Zeltingen and Bernkastel—this is Mosel at its most serious. Johannes Selbach makes electric Rieslings from some of the steepest slopes in Germany, the kind of wines that remind you why this region matters.

WINE GUIDES

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!
