Zeltinger Schlossberg Schmitt Riesling Auslese•2023

Peach in all its guises takes center stage in Selbach-Oster’s 2023 Zeltinger Schlossberg Schmitt Riesling Auslese, from fresh orchard fruit to lush, almost compote-like richness, all shot through with gleaming Mosel slate. The sweetness feels luxuriously deep yet perfectly countered by a spine of tangy citrus and stony freshness, giving an impression of weightless intensity and a finish that seems to glow rather than fade. This vintage has a particularly magnetic, serene power that invites both quiet contemplation now and patient cellaring.
