Selbach-Oster Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese 1997

Mosel, GermanyAccording to locals this single vineyard produces wines with slate-y flavors, strong minerality, lime, apple, butter-vanilla, almost chewy earthiness and great depth. In short, full-bodied wines. This is Selbach-Oster's top vineyard and some parcels are prized as the best sites in the entire Bernkastel-Zeltingen ramp - DOKTOR notwithstanding. Look for crisp apple acidity, the essence of springtime green colours, fresh flowers and much more. This one will live a long life.Tasted: 01 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
