Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Rotlay 2020

98 POINTS: Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
96 POINTS: Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

"The 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Rotlay is deep and flinty on the darker-toned and complex, finely phenolic nose. Round and refined on the elegant but sweet palate, this is a well-balanced and charming Riesling with a long and complex, saline and finely grippy finish, yet it does not have the stimulating brightness and finesse of Schmitt and Anrecht. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022."

“It’s hard to imagine that this essence of the peach actually started out as grapes! Titanic concentration and vitality, together with great mineral energy that drives all of this forward as inexorably as an ocean liner cutting through high seas in the North Atlantic. The intensity at the finish might be too much for some, but we are completely convinced! Drink or hold.”
