2006 Selbach Riesling Kabinett (Fish Label) is made with grapes from leased vineyards in the Mosel Saar Ruwer region for J. & H. SELBACH. In effect, it can be considered as a 2nd label or négociant line of the Selbach-Oster family. Johannes Selbach, the famed winemaker of Selbach-Oster, oversees the winemaking of all the wines of this label.From the importer:
“This Kabinett comes from 15 kilometers around Zeltingen. A lot of it is Zeltingen, Bernkastel-Kues and Kinheim fruit, some Detzem, some Brauneberg.”

Comments:
I have to admit that Riesling is not a wine I usually stock or a wine I particularly look out for. I only drink Riesling as a food-pairing wine with spicy cuisines such as Indian, Malaysian or Thai. As an entry-level Riesling, this Kabinett is very food friendly. However, I find young Rieslings, especially the entry-level semi-dry ones, are often rather one dimensional with overpowering sweetness and this 2006 Selbach is no exception.
