2024 J&H Selbach - Saar Riesling Kabinett (750ml)

J&H Selbach is the négociant label of the Selbach family, the team behind the acclaimed Selbach-Oster estate in Zeltingen. They have grown vines on the Mosel for centuries. For this bottling they go up the Saar, a cool, steep side valley famous for Rieslings with laser-sharp acidity and a crystalline, mineral cut. The fruit comes from slate soils and ferments spontaneously on native yeasts, mostly in stainless steel with a portion in old Mosel fuder casks. That keeps it pure and lively. This is classic Kabinett: light, low in alcohol and off-dry, with green apple, white peach, lime and a whiff of wet stone. The sweetness and racy Saar acidity balance perfectly. Pour it with Thai or Vietnamese food, spicy takeout, sushi, smoked trout or a cheese plate, or simply as an aperitif.
