Johannes Selbach is beyond a doubt one of the great producers in the wine world. But, being based in Germany (and not being called Egon Müller), their wines are available at totally reasonable prices. Usually we can stock many of them year-round. Possibly our favorite Mosel estate, Selbach is renowned for his ability to take a snapshot of a vineyard at one place in time with every bottling he makes. The Selbach family has been making wine in the Mosel for 400 hundred years, making them one of the oldest winemaking houses in the region. But the wines are not old-fashioned; in fact, they exemplify everything we love about modern day Mosel wines: racy minerality, finesse and beautifully balanced acidity.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Rotlay is from the warmest part of Rotlay, on own-rooted vines on average 100 years old, with very low yields; the proximity to the river encourages botrytis. This selection contains around 30% botrytized fruit. Slatey perfume, petrichor, pepper and crushed tansy are vivid and savory on the nose. More air almost expresses itself in an ozone lift. These aromatic notions wrap themselves around peach, and on the palate, this sense of saltiness heightens sweet peach, and savory nature comes to full expression. This tingles and sprays, adds orange, kumquat peel, and pepper, and finishes triumphantly at 102g/L of residual sweetness." -Vinous

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!
