"An apple cider, Persian melon, and nut oil matrix inflected with smoky buckwheat and stone characterizes the block-picked, Pradikat-free Selbach-Oster 2010 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Schmitt. The sense of layering reflecting pickings of green-gold and variously botrytized fruit definitely comes through, along with persistently savory and mineral intrigue, though it will be fascinating to witness whether over the next couple of decades this gains a greater sense of clarity and focus. “These are the rough-cut, unpolished jewels from our best vineyards,” says Johannes Selbach of his three block-picked bottlings."
