Although labeled as a Spätlese, the grapes for this wine are harvested so ripe that it could be sold as an Auslese. With incredible freshness for its age, it balances pithy acidity, pleasant, food-friendly sweetness, and aged, tertiary notes of petrol and honey. Superb!

This "one-star" bottling is in a class by itself among the Selbachs' 2015 vintage Auslesen. Tropical richness of mango and pineapple is married on the nose to site-typical smokiness and a background of wet stone. On the buoyant, polished palate and superbly sustained finish, the vibrant combination of effusive fruit with smoky, alkaline and ashen counterpoint as well as saliva-liberating salinity is compelling and complete.
