Selbach-Oster Riesling Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken 2011
Mosel, GermanyIf you haven't fallen asleep trying pronounce this name, fear not the wine will revive you. Halbtrocken is the German nod to half-dry wines - it cannot have more than 18 g/L of residual sugar and can only exceed 12 g/L of residual sugar if the acid level is within 10 g/L of the residual sugar. Are you asleep yet? Wait, the wine is sensational. The nose has a flinty, mineral, salty seawater notes with bits of Vaseline and dried herbs. The attack is marginally sweet with citrus, lemon, ripe apple flavours. A rich, creamy, textured wine with crunchy juicy delicious fruit with endless food pairing possibilities on the west coast.Tasted: 14 July 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
