Producer Information: Selbach-Oster

Selbach-Oster is a historic wine producer based in the Mosel region of Germany, specifically in the village of Zeltingen. The Selbach and Oster families have been cultivating vineyards along the Mosel River since the 1600s, with the modern estate officially established in 1920. Their approach to winemaking emphasizes traditional methods, including hand-harvesting and minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. The estate is particularly known for its steep slate vineyards, which contribute to the unique minerality found in their wines.

Beyond their celebrated Rieslings, Selbach-Oster produces a diverse portfolio that includes Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder) and Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), reflecting their commitment to showcasing regional varietals. They also craft sparkling wines using traditional bottle fermentation techniques. In addition to still and sparkling wines, Selbach-Oster has expanded into producing small-batch fruit brandies distilled from local orchard fruits such as apples and pears. This breadth allows them to offer a comprehensive taste of Mosel terroir through both classic grape varieties and artisanal spirits.
