The Selbach-Oster estate continues the long family tradition producing only Riesling. The 16 hectares (40 acres) of the estate are all on the terraced slopes of the Mosel in top vineyard sites like Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr and Graacher Domprobst.
Quality is the focus in the vineyards, where appropriate pruning and, if necessary, green harvest in August are used to keep yields low. Picking is done by hand and very selectively. Great care is taken to treat grapes, juice and wine as gentle as possible. In the cellar, traditional winemaking is preferred. The wines undergo a cold, slow fermentation and stay on their own yeast (the lees) for an extended period of time. The traditional 1000 Liter oak barrels called "Fuder" are still used.
Selbach - Oster wines are enjoyed in fine restaurants and hotels throughout Germany, the neighbouring European countries and many countries overseas and have a widespread distribution in fine wine stores. The wines have been continuously rewarded by high scores and ratings, endorsing our commitment to highest possible quality.
