Selbach-Oster 'Alte Reben' Zeltinger Riesling Trocken 2022 (11.5%)

A dry white wine from Germany, grown along the steep, sun-drenched banks of the Mosel valley in the village of Zeltingen. Weingut Selbach-Oster is a multi-generational estate whose winemaking heritage dates back to 1600. The 'Alte Reben' designation means the cuvée is sourced entirely from historic, rootstock-native vines averaging 45 to 60 years of age. The fruit was hand-harvested primarily from old-vine parcels in the southwest-facing Zeltinger Himmelreich vineyard, alongside select old plots in the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, on blue Devonian slate soils. The juice was fermented naturally using native yeasts and matured entirely in traditional, large neutral oak casks. It is bone-dry at 11.5% ABV.
