Selbach-Oster
"OMG" Trocken Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany
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
