Selbach-Oster, Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder Trocken, Mosel, Germany, 2019

Overview of the Wine
Since 1661 the Selbach family has owned vineyards in the Mosel region. Their main treasure is simply what nature presents us with: excellent vineyard-sites, and old, ungrafted vines on steep, south-facing slopes planted on heat-retaining, mineral-rich, rocky slate soil. Their philosophy of winemaking is "hands-on" in the vineyards and "hands-off" in the cellar. Most of Selbach Oster wines are still fermented and matured in the traditional oak "Fuder"-barrels supplemented by a small number of stainless-steel vats. They do not use new oak for Rieslings to preserve the delicate structure of subtle fruit and crisp acidity as purely as possible

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A cool little vogue behind this charming and singular critter. It hails from a steep slate vineyard and receives a teensy smooch of cask, so you get a pike quenelle PB with a slatey energy.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 
The 2019 Pinot Blanc (a.k.a. Weissburgunder Trocken) is clear, fresh and aromatic on the pure, crystalline and beautifully fruity nose. It is juicy and piquant on the palate, with crystalline acidity and serious length and structure. This stunning wine is innocuous on opening but finishes ambitious, with length, drive and tension.
