SELBACH-OSTER Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spaetlese

ORIGIN
Appellation: Mosel
Grape Variety: Riesling (from very old vines of the famous single estate vinyard “Sonnenuhr”)
Soil: Crumbly, weathered blue Devonian slate
Quality:Spatlese

TASTING NOTES
Bouquet of honeyed, ripe fruit echoing the super ripeness of small, reddish-golden Riesling berries shortly before becoming botrytised. Rich and lavishly fruity on the palate backed by ample acidity which lends it backbone and great length. The wine starts to develop some secondary aromas which makes Riesling more interesting. This wine is, in fact, a genuine Auslese sold as Spaetlese and has more concentration than Spaetlese from previous vintages

SERVING
Serve at 10- 11° C. Enjoy with rich patés, pan seared fresh foie gras or patés thereof, excellent with spicy “fusion” or Asian dishes. Great with aromatic ”smelly” cheeses and blue cheeses of all sorts, also with not so sweet desserts. Superb alone by itself, just to savour the multifaceted flavours! This wine will greatly benefit from further cellaring. Shelf Life: 20-25 years
