Note di degustazione
From very old, ungrafted vines planted around 1910, the 2016 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Feinherb "Ur-alte Reben" (AP 29 17) has a clear, precise, fine and refreshing bouquet with lemongrass and flinty aromas and notes of finely grained slate. Lush, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a mouth-filling and textured Riesling with fine tannins and gorgeous intensity. The 2016 should be cellared for at least another 5 years. Tasted February 2018.

This bottling from in part centenarian vines manages to convey both greater richness and even greater clarity than the many other fine wines in the Selbachs’ present collection. Alluring scents of iris and heliotrope and a greenhouse-like suggestion of verdant foliage follow as inner-mouth perfume on a creamy, expansive yet (at not quite 12% alcohol) buoyant palate brimming with fresh, juicy apple. Cardamom and coriander seed offer counterpoint, leading into a lusciously lingering finish mouthwateringly salt-tinged and transparent to crystalline stony nuances.
Super young, but already there\'s a cornucopia of yellow fruit aromas. Stunning concentration, but not a jot broad or heavy. Very long refined finish. Should be good at least to 2040.
