Mosel

Teutonic Muscat is a vibrant, aromatic white wine showcasing the distinctive characteristics of the Muscat grape grown in Germany's cool Mosel region. It typically presents a delicate balance of floral intensity and refreshing acidity, with a light to medium body and pronounced fruit-forward profile.

Elbling is one of Germany's oldest grape varieties, dating back to Roman times, and makes for a brilliant sparkling wine that deserves more recognition. This Sekt (German sparkling wine) showcases the grape's naturally high acidity and clean flavor profile – perfect qualities for creating refreshing bubbles. What makes this bottle special is its combination of historical significance and modern appeal. While Champagne gets all the glory, this German sparkler offers similar refreshment at a fraction of the price. The Mosel's cool climate and slate soils give the wine a distinctive mineral character that sets it apart from other sparkling wines. It's the vinous equivalent of discovering an indie band before they hit the mainstream – something special that insiders know about but hasn't yet been discovered by the masses. Perfect for celebrations or simply making a Tuesday feel more festive, this Sekt proves that great bubbles don't need a fancy address or price tag.

Selbach's Dry Riesling 'Incline' comes from the steep slate slopes of Germany's Mosel Valley, where some vineyards are so precipitous that workers need to be practically part mountain goat. The name 'Incline' cleverly references both these dramatic vineyard sites and the upward trajectory of dry German Riesling's popularity among wine enthusiasts. The Selbach family has been crafting exceptional Riesling for generations, and this bottle showcases their expertise in creating wines with perfect tension between fruit, acidity, and minerality. Made in a properly dry style (unlike the sweeter Rieslings that dominated German exports for decades), this wine proves that Riesling deserves its reputation as one of the world's greatest white grapes. It's the perfect bottle for converting friends who still think all Riesling is sweet – one sip of this crystalline, mineral-driven beauty might just create a new Riesling enthusiast. Sometimes the steepest slopes produce the most thrilling results.
