The 2022 Selbach-Oster Riesling Auslese from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard in the Middle Mosel region of Germany is a notable white wine, varietal Riesling, produced by Selbach-Oster. This wine has garnered high praise from professional reviewers for its balance, elegance, and age-worthiness.

Stephan Reinhardt of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the wine a score of 95, describing it as "very fine and delicate, slightly flinty," with "ripe and lush stone fruit and some grapefruit aromas." Reinhardt highlights the wine's lush palate and beautifully balanced nature, complete with a "saline and finely citric finish" that makes it "highly digestible even at this early stage." He suggests that the wine will further improve with age, preferring it at 20 years old. This wine features 7.5% stated alcohol and is sealed with a natural cork.

Vinous reviewer Anne Krebiehl MW gave the wine a score of 92, noting the "thrilling purity of fruit" due to the minimal presence of botrytis. Krebiehl compares the fruit profile to "iced Mirabelle jelly, framed by citrus, definitely lemon, but with a bergamot overtone." She praises the wine for its "heightened, sweet, precise and clear vision of lemon-laced Mirabelle fruit" and describes it as "very fine, absolutely pure, slightly viscous," with an impressive balance. The wine has 102g/L of residual sugar, contributing to its sweet yet balanced character.

James Suckling's Stuart Pigott rated the wine the highest with a score of 96, calling it a "super-elegant Mosel Auslese with a creamy-dreamy personality." Pigott emphasizes the "ton of very fresh peachy fruit" and the "gigantic freshness at the finish" which includes "notes of salted peanut, King Alphonso mango and fresh coriander." He mentions that while the wine is already delicious, it will reveal more nuances with time, recommending it for both immediate consumption and long-term holding.

Overall, the 2022 Selbach-Oster Riesling Auslese Zeltinger Sonnenuhr is a well-regarded Riesling that showcases exceptional balance, purity, and potential for aging, making it a notable choice for both collectors and enthusiasts.
