2010 Selbach-Oster Wehlener-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese**
As wine producers, we have not forgotten that we are people who live from the land, who are dependent on nature. Wine is more to us than just business or a source of income. It happens to be our passion, too. A part of ourselves goes in every wine we produce. As you might expect when looking at our vineyards clinging to precipituous slopes, everything from pruning to harvesting is done by hand in an "old-fashioned", labour-intensive process. We can proudly present our customers with truly handcrafted wines. Our philosophy of winemaking is "hands-on" in the vineyards and "hands-off" in the cellar. When this motto is put to use it creates the best possible conditions for making truly fine wines while always leaving the "making" to the wine itself. This means we try to realize the full potential the individual soils, vineyards and vintages have to offer.

Selbach-Oster Riesling vineyards lie on a 4-mile / 7 km stretch along the Mosel starting in Zeltingen, upstream to Wehlen, Graach and Bernkastel. Vines have been cultivated here since Roman times. Every single vineyard on that short stretch of river has its own special environment and microclimate, its terroir. Each single lot of wine in the cellar shows its own individual, complex "fingerprint". No single day is alike and each year, each vintage has its own unique character, its "signature". Selbach- Oster
91 points Wine Advocate:
:Selbach’s “two-star” 2010 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese follows the lead of the corresponding Spatlese in its unusual delicacy, though to be sure the usual creaminess of this site is also in evidence. Apple jelly, candied lime peel, and vanilla cream make for a borderline confectionary personality, yet the sweetness manages to pull back without the impressively persistent finish becoming overweeningly sweet. The overall effect here is of a delectable and deceptively light but high-calorie dessert. It will be most interesting over the next 20 or so years to see how this evolves, and I could well imagine more nuance emerging. David Schildknecht
