2020 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Rotlay Riesling Auslese

The 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Rotlay is deep and flinty on the darker-toned and complex, finely phenolic nose. Round and refined on the elegant but sweet palate, this is a well-balanced and charming Riesling with a long and complex, saline and finely grippy finish, yet it does not have the stimulating brightness and finesse of Schmitt and Anrecht. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
