Schloss Saarstein 2009 Serrig Schloss Saarsteiner Beerenauslese Goldkapsel Riesling (Mosel)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $231
Like all of the Schloss’s noble sweet wines, this one isn’t overblown, displaying ample sweetness but also zesty acidity. There’s a slight greenish hint to the candied citrus and dried pineapple flavors, with a lemony streak on the finish that balances the sweetness impeccably. Should last for 40–50 years—possibly more—in a cool cellar.

- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive

Lean and racy, typical of the Saar even at these high ripeness levels, with hints of slate and mint or tea gracing pineapple fruit. The long, vibrant finish is crisp and mouthwatering, with the residual sugar dropping into the background. Drink now-2030+.

Schloss Saarstein 2005 Auslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $49
Starts off with leesy, minerally notes, including struck flint, but also ripe melon and star anise scents. This is a nicely balanced, not overly sweet auslese, with green apple and citrus fruit smoothly combining with steely acidity and petrol notes. The long finish, filled with green apple and white grapefruit, promises a long life in the cellar.

Schloss Saarstein 2007 Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $29
This wine’s initial aromatics come across as rather subdued, but give them some time and they begin to unfurl into minerally billows of slate and citrus. This shows the crisp, tight structure of the Saar—it’s a tightly coiled spring of green apple and citrus fruits around a core of minerality. Should age through 2015.

Schloss Saarstein 2007 Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
A classic kabinett, being light in body yet rich in intensity, this wine offers up oodles of apple, lime and mineral notes. There’s a tinge of honeyed sweetness to the aromas and flavors, but it stays clean and crisp, delicate yet powerful.
