The soils are made up of grey slate, which is silt, sand and fossil-rich (fossilised shells and crustaceans can clearly be seen in rocks in the vineyard). Facing south-southwest, the vineyard covers 2.2ha. Some smokiness combines with florals and stony minerality on the nose, with a citrus backbone. Great intensity of acidity and fruit structure is somehow delicately wrought in. The wine has a saline finish with real purity and focus. A lightness of touch is particularly evident here and belies the incredible power this wine possesses.

Anyway, it's a fabulously steep, sun-filled site above the village of Zeltingen, whose pale, super-fine flaky grey slate reflects the rays back into the canopy, to great effect. Harvested in early November; vinified using wild yeasts to bring out the full character of the terroir, there's a wonderfully broad complexity of flavours, of whole berry crunchiness that together convey a sense of minerally dryness (the 82 grams of residual sugar balanced by a thrilling 9 grams of natural acidity!) It certainly appears that this approach of harvesting just once brings out a more comprehensive vineyard character. Great.

The nose of this standout, 'star' Auslese has an almost salty peach character about; it's beautifully textured, svelte, with such fluidity, immaculate balance, no sense of the 115 grams of residual sugar, refreshed by the 10 grams of acidity! The botrytis evidently 'made' this extraordinary vintage, naturally concentrating all the elements, including the sugars, giving the wine a sublime texture and heavenly finish. Exotic yes, but a racehorse at the same time! Finishes more off-dry than medium!

This is a regal Riesling from Germany with a very loyal following. Graach is a tributary of the Rhine River. Here wines are renowned for their delicacy, this wine, however, is animated, lovely and full of exciting flavours that tingle and mingle on the palate, reminding us of woodland flora and Mother Earth slates. Then there is an everlasting finish.

This classically proportioned, off-dry Riesling Kabinett comes from the heart of the Middle Mosel, where this grape finds one of its most famous expressions on the vertiginous, grey-slate soil slopes that border the river Mosel. It is made for us by the Selbachs, who have been cultivating Riesling vines in the Mosel since 1661. Today Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara run the estate, which is now one of the leading producers in the Mittel Mosel. The grapes are handpicked and then fermented in traditional, large oak barrels. The emphasis here is on finesse and purity of fruit.
