Mosel
BernkastelThe estate is located in the commune of Zeltingen in the Mosel (Mittelmosel) wine-growing region in Germany. Both families have been involved in wine production for centuries. The Selbach family has ist roots in Ãœrzig, and has been involved in wine production since 1661, while the Oster family hails from Zeltingen, and has a tradition as coopers. The great-grandfather of the current owner Johannes owned a steamship that was used to transport barrels of wine from the Mosel and Rhine up to the ports on the North Sea. The barrels were produced by cooper Matthias Oster, the paternal great-grandfather. The two operations were merged in the early 1960Â’s. Apart from the wine estate, there is the small winery and commission agency J & H Selbach, which is run as a separate business. Here wines from the whole region are selected and amrketed. The total operation is run by Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara. The vineyard area is 16 hectares, of which 98% is palnted with Riesling, the small remainder is Pinot Blanc. The vineyard holdings include parcels in famous vineyard sites such as the Badstube (Bernkastel), Domprobst and Himmelreich (Graach), Sonnenuhr (Wehlen), as well as Himmelreich, Schlossberg and Sonnenuhr (Zeltingen). Sustainable, integrated vineyard practices are implemented. Around half of the wines are matured in large oak barrels, the other half in stainless steel tanks. The dry wines are generally fermented with cultured yeasts, while the sweet wines are mostly fermented using natural yeasts. Annual production is around 100.000 litres of wine.
