Selbach-Oster
"OMG" Trocken Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany
An interesting take on skin contact Riesling. The aroma profile is kinda scarce, maybe quince and something akin to nuttiness. Skin tannins, apple, quince and some nuttiness. Drank for 3 days. A little high priced for $30, on sale. Interesting & not unremarkable…

When is a Riesling not a Riesling? When it’s baked under the sun getting a glistening tan like this one. Softness on the skins, ripe and lush and austere. Surely an odd one but thats what turns me on about winemaking decisions. It’s funny to taste this and compare it to our skin macerated Riesling. Both are weird not in the sense that there is anything bacterial about it but a sense that it’s one wacky and beautiful wine simultaneously
