Selbach Dry Riesling 'Incline'

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.
