Selbach's 2021 Riesling feinherb opens with a very aromatic, almost Traminer-like bouquet of ripe, elegant, yellow-fleshed fruits intertwined with delicate slate and floral aromas. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a dense and finely structured off-dry Riesling with a stimulatingly saline and savory finish. This is an excellent Riesling to have with many kinds of dishes, also sweet and piquant ones. 11% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in October 2022. ... More details

Aromas of peach, apricot, apple and citrus fruits. This delicate, subtle, and sweet wine shows nuances of tropical fruit with a touch of salty minerality and balanced by a crunchy acidity.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

Country: Germany

If German wine has had something of a bad reputation in the past, it may well be the fault of the fact that for a long time now, the Germans have simply kept all the best produce to themselves. Visit any town or village in wine producing regions of Germany, and you'll be faced with a stunning array of extremely high quality wines, each matched with local dishes and full of distinct character and flavor. As white wine production makes up for about two-thirds of all Germany's wine industry, this is by far the most visible and widely enjoyed type of wine, but one should not overlook the quality and range of rosé and red wines on offer from this fascinating country. In particular, the Spatburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) are generally of an exceptionally high quality, being full of dark, intense hedgerow fruit flavors and exciting spicy notes with a silky smooth finish.
