2009 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett

Few German producers travel as much as Johannes Selbach, thus giving him greater insight into which bottles consumers actually empty. Perhaps for this reason, his rieslings are seldom show-stoppers , but are always crisp, pure and eminently drinkable The 2009s, although slightly richer than his 2008s, are no exception, with all the offerings from the simple dry riesling through the kabinetts and spatleses being perfectly balanced. At the pinnacle of his production are a number of wines that bear no predicate, only the name of the old subplots from which they originate: Schmitt and Anrecht.
