Selbach Oster Zeltlinger Schlossberg Kabinett Riesling 2022

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

From vines planted in 1980, the 2022 Zeltinger Riesling Kabinett trocken opens with a clear and intense nose that reveals the particular fine and flinty slate tone of the Zeltingen vineyards, which offer ripe and intense, well concentrated but always elegant fruit aromas. Round and complex on the palate, with remarkably fine acidity, this is a medium-bodied, enormously saline and tensioned Kabinett of class and style. It's almost too good (complex) to be true." - 94 PTS, STEPHAN REINHARDT, WINE ADVOCATE (10/2023)

DISRIBUTOR NOTES: 

OVERVIEW: “Weingut Selbach-Oster's Zeltinger Kabinett is a dry Riesling, heralding from the Mosel region. Grown in rocky, slate soil enriched with loam, the grapes are sourced predominantly from Zeltinger Himmelreich.”

TASTING: "This elegant, dry Riesling is celebrated for its crisp and healthy greenish-yellow grapes, undergoing a slow, cool fermentation process. It's characterized by its lively freshness, "crunchy" fruit, and well-balanced acidity, offering a delicate fruitiness with a mineralic undertone. Notably, it is not sweet, but rather a delight to the tongue and senses. The wine is recommended for its crispness and elegance, making it an ideal pairing with fish, seafood, smoked meats, and various appetizers. It stands out for its length and structure, delivering flavorful enjoyment with a refreshingly low alcohol content."
