Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese

The palate is silky, concentrated, and slate‑saturated, opening with ripe peach, apricot, and citrus oil carried by the vibrant acidity that keeps 2017’s richness in perfect balance. A mid‑palate of tangerine, honeyed stone fruit, and cool flinty minerality adds both depth and precision, while the sweetness is lush yet finely tuned, giving the wine a generous but never heavy texture. The structure is elegant and saline, with a subtle thread of piquancy and warm stone emerging as it opens. The finish is long, clear, and quietly powerful, tapering with citrus peel, orchard‑fruit skin, and a resonant slate echo.
