Selbach Oster Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken Zeltinger Himmelreich 2018 (Mosel, Germany) - [WA 93] [VM 92] [WS 92]

Selbach-Oster Rieslings are not “zeitgeisty” wines that change according to the whims of fashion. Nor are they “made” according to recipe. Though they are deeply delicious, they do not seek to "seduce" with short-term exotic aromas from specially cultured yeasts, aromatic enzymes or ice-cold fermentations. They are true characters, wines with structure, wines that display their heritage, rooted deep into the slate rock like our old vines – many of which are still on their own vinifera roots. Ratings & Reviews 93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:"The 2018 Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett halbtrocken displays a bright yet intense bouquet with finely weathered and flinty slate and dried white fruit aromas. Juicy, piquant and salty on the palate, this is a round and charming yet intense, persistently crystalline and elegant Kabinett with a long and harmonious but tensioned, slightly bitter finish. Excellent. Tasted at the domain in September 2020." - Stephan Reinhar
