The Weins-Prum 2008 Erdener Pralat Riesling Spatlese – which Selbach acknowledges is effectively an Auslese in style, though in his typically conservative fashion he bottled no Auslese this year – displays site-typical sassafras and candied tangerine rind along with hints of honey, malt, and white raisin, all of which persist on a richly-textured palate that nonetheless preserves the sense of primary juiciness and transparency to mineral, nut, and spice nuance – not to mention the delicacy – that characterize most of the best wines of this vintage. When Pralat is able to strut its stuff this way on the dance floor, why would one want to have the site expressed with any less interplay or vivacity? Look for the better part of two decades satisfaction here.Bert Selbach is another of those Mosel traditionalists for whom the opportunities afforded by the 2008 vintage to achieve low-alcohol, delicate wines was welcome, and the results are classics of their types, at the highly-affordable prices that always characterize this frequently under-rated estate.Importer: Rudi Wiest, Cellars International, Carlsbad, CA; tel. 800 596 9463
