Old-vine, properly dry Mosel Riesling from Selbach-Oster, one of the region's most reliable names, and a good answer for anyone who still assumes German Riesling has to be sweet. "Alte Reben" means old vines, and that's the whole idea: older plantings in the village of Zeltingen, which give fewer grapes and more concentration. The vines are rooted in blue Devonian slate. The 2023 is medium-bodied and mineral, a dry Riesling with real substance but no heft. Serious without being heavy, and very easy to like.

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!
