Aged in stainless steel to preserve purity, it offers a smooth, lingering finish with excellent aging potential, showcasing its graceful evolution. Perfect for pairing with spicy Asian dishes, fruit desserts, or blue cheeses, this Riesling reflects Selbach-Oster’s artisanal precision and commitment to terroir. The 2002 vintage, known for its balance and depth, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, offering a sophisticated Mosel white for enthusiasts seeking richness and elegance. Its nuanced flavor profile and evolved finesse make it a collector’s gem.
