The Selbachs’ 2006 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Beerenauslese smells of resin, caramel, white raisins, and grapefruit rind, and maple syrup, with smoky, spiritous overtones. In the mouth, it is creamy and butterscotch-like, and its resinous character reveals itself as in part due to the small cask in which this was vinified. This is certainly impressively mouth coating and intensely persistent, if lacking in the lift and elegance of many of the most exciting 2006s. It will be fascinating to follow for 30 or more years, no doubt, but because like nearly every Selbach wine it is not overloaded with youthful sweetness, you could enjoy it tomorrow without pangs of conscience. ...

Balls-to-the-wall power here, an enveloping BA that's elegant and not voluptuous, with creamy-malty flavors but even more lovely, with slatey-apple flavors; almost tenderly vinous primary fruit-slate notes that don't have to impress you since you're already melted. One of the greatest sweet wines of the vintage.

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.
