SELBACH ZELTINGER ANRECHT AUSLESE 2019

Johannes Selbach is beyond a doubt one of the great producers in the wine world. But, being based in Germany (and not being called Egon Müller), their wines are available at totally reasonable prices. Usually we can stock many of them year-round. Possibly our favorite Mosel estate, Selbach is renowned for his ability to take a snapshot of a vineyard at one place in time with every bottling he makes. The Selbach family has been making wine in the Mosel for 400 hundred years, making them one of the oldest winemaking houses in the region. But the wines are not old-fashioned; in fact, they exemplify everything we love about modern day Mosel wines: racy minerality, finesse and beautifully balanced acidity.

Professional Reviews

“Bottled in early July, the 2019 Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Anrecht is clear, fresh and complex on the precise, concentrated, bright and almost floral nose with its dried fruit yet less botrytis aromas. Crystalline and salty on the palate, with enormously piquant and razor-sharp acidity, this is a stony, dense and elegant Anrecht with concentration, persistent salinity and mineral tension. There is great grip and tension here but sharp as a Japanese knife. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.” -Robert Parker
