Johannes Selbach is beyond a doubt one of the great producers in the wine world. But, being based in Germany, their wines are available at totally reasonable prices. Usually we can stock many of them year-round.

Selbach is renowned for his ability to take a snapshot of a vineyard at one place in time with every bottling he makes. His favorite sites are picked all at once, with grapes at every level of ripeness, fermented together and labelled with a site name like Rotlay or Antrecht, rather than a Prädikat level.

The Selbach family has been making wine in the Mosel for 400 hundred years, making them one of the oldest wine making 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

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Rotlay is deep and flinty on the darker-toned and complex, finely phenolic nose. Round and refined on the elegant but sweet palate, this is a well-balanced and charming Riesling with a long and complex, saline and finely grippy finish, yet it does not have the stimulating brightness and finesse of Schmitt and Anrecht. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork." -Stephan Reinhardt

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"Clean and precise, this wine has a well-defined profile. Wet stone, fresh sage and guava fruit are wrapped around the core of juicy acidity. The wine is balanced, but it should have even greater harmony in several years, when time tames its acidity and sweetness, bringing them to an equilibrium." -Aleks Zecevic
