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 Spätlese feinherb Ur Alte Reben is from the Kakert parcel planted between 1908 and 1910, close to the river but very steep. It was first made in 2013. It gives low yields of very small grapes, often no bigger than a pea, Selbach says. The nose is all lifted Amalfi lemon, creamy ozone, breezy and scented. The palate comes in with concentration and absolute purity. There is something immensely ripe yet cool about this, pervasive and bold. The citrus attains a riper notion of orange on the palate, and the palate is alive with orange peel zestiness. A vivid and harmonious balance at 15g/L of residual sweetness." -Vinous

"From vines planted between 1908 and 1910, the 2022 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese feinherb "Ur-alte Reben" offers a beautifully rich and refined bouquet of ripe fruits and finely crushed stones. Round on the palate, this is as aromatic as the Bömer but certainly lighter, more savory and vital. This is the Spätlese of the Bömer style, if you will, even though this Spätlese comes from a parcel that is one kilometer apart. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork."

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!
