This is one of the best vintages I have tasted at this estate in years, capped by three ausleses from small plots in Johannes Selbach's finest vineyards: Anrecht, Schmitt and Rotlay. Actually, he doesn't even write auslese on the label, preferring to see the wines as pure expressions of each individual site. As they are not nearly as sweet as many ausleses on the market today, they work almost off-dry in comparison. All will certainly age well but need a bit of bottle age before they begin to show their true charm.
