2020 Selbach-Oster 'OMG' Riesling Trocken

The 2020 Selbach-Oster “OMG” Riesling Trocken is a distinctive dry Mosel Riesling crafted from steep slate vineyards and produced with a hands-off philosophy that emphasizes texture and terroir expression. Following gentle pressing, the grapes undergo extended skin contact before fermenting with native yeasts and aging in old oak vessels for nearly two years prior to bottling, with minimal sulfur and no fining or filtration. The result is an intensely aromatic and layered wine, offering notes of pear, white peach, citrus zest, rose petal, flint, and wet slate, underscored by subtle hints of petrol and fresh herbs. On the palate, it is vibrant and energetic, combining bright acidity with a lightly creamy texture, remarkable minerality, and a long, saline finish that showcases the precision and tension characteristic of great dry Mosel Riesling. An excellent companion to oysters, sushi, spicy Asian cuisine, roasted poultry, and soft-ripened cheeses, it is equally compelling enjoyed on its own.
