2002 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 0,375 Liter

Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2002, from Germany’s Mosel, is a 100% Riesling from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard’s slate soils in a 0.375L bottle. The nose offers a concentrated bouquet of honeyed apricot, candied lemon, and ripe peach, layered with petrol and wet slate. The palate is medium-bodied, with pronounced residual sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a hint of spice, with a rich, lingering finish. Aged in stainless steel to preserve purity, it reflects Selbach-Oster’s artisanal precision. The 2002 vintage, known for its depth, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, ideal for pairing with fruit tarts, creamy desserts, or blue cheeses. Its concentrated flavor profile and evolved finesse make it a collector’s gem, capturing the essence of Zeltinger Sonnenuhr’s iconic terroir. With excellent aging potential, this Auslese offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Mosel’s winemaking heritage.
