Tasting Notes
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr
2016 - Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese *
The nose is very cool and fresh with plenty of herbs and nice slate minerality, not so big fruit notes, more a minty-nettle type of nose. On the palate fruity sweetness with a mix of stone-fruits –especially ripe apricots – pear, yellow ripe apples and candied citrus fruits, fresh herbs again, spicy elements as well. Finishes quite mouthwatering with some spices and slight salt. And then you just take the next sip… Just how it should be!
2015 - Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling feinherb, "Ur"alte Reben
Hannah Selbach and her family are making #riesling since forever on a very high level, but lately with an even more amazing quality. For example this #zeltinger #sonnenuhr #feinherb ur-#altereben #2015 has a great nose of beautiful slate minerality, peach, apricots and grapefruit fruit notes. On the palate fresh citrus like acidity, deep spiciness, great pepper, herbs and citrus flavors with and amazing length. A beautiful Riesling!
2014 - Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese R trocken
The collection of Selbach-Oster is a great one indeed, but the Spätlese “R” is our number one. An inviting nose of beautiful slate minerality, plenty of great citrus and grapefruit style flavours. On the palate you get the full juicy, dense and long potential of the great wine. Fruit notes of apple, stone fruits, powerful acidity, great stony minerality in the great and super harmonic, soft finish. You got to love this.

2016 - Sonnenuhr Riesling trocken
Nice herbal nose with beautiful spices, slight stone fruits like apricots and peach together with citrus notes. On the palate you are welcomed by a first smooth but shortly after quite crisp acidity, followed by the spicy mineralic body, only slight fruit notes. Finishes with citrus style acidity. Quite elegant.
