Selbach-Oster
Zeltinger Schlossberg Spätlese Riesling *
Mosel, Germany
Spätlese *. Just perfect. Sweet with pineapple and peach flavors, followed by crisp acidity. Perfectly balanced—not over-sweet at all. Still fresh and golden in color.

Nothing but excellence from Selbach. A little on the sweeter side, notes of pineapple, apple, and overripe peach. But the beauty of SB Rieslings is their crunchy acidity and refreshing minerality. I find that it dampens the sweetness of this wine to find a very nice balance at the finish. It starts sweet, and ends smooth. Their philosophy is to let the grapes speak for themselves, and these sing to high heaven with pleasurable sweetness, zipping acidity and balance.

Jan 17th, 2016This has barely budged in 6+ years. Just ridiculously delicious with bright pineapply tropical fruit that doesn't seem to have aged a day, with a crackling texture to give it definition. It is, underneath that, a very sweet wine, certainly thicker than the spatlese norm, and it's pretty amazing that it never gets cloying and retains that snap-crackle-pop, but there is a point before the end of the bottle when you put the cork back in and say that's enough sugar for one night.
