Tasting with Johannes Selbach at the beautiful and modern estate tasting room overlooking the river and vineyards. I was fortunate enough to join the tasting with a couple of other guests, one of which was a wine journalist. As a result, the tasting lasted a few hours since Johannes was keen to show off a large range of wines. While starting out at a leisurely pace, by the end the wines were being served in fairly quick succession. So short tasting impressions only.
Drank with Schweine Schnitzel “lumberjack style”.

Last minute decision to visit Markus Molitor on the Sunday, however being one of the few wineries open on a Sunday in the region, it allowed for one final tasting before departing the Mosel. Sitting by myself at a table along the side of the room, I was able to spend sufficient time with each wine to get the measure of it. Yet my notes are still brief.

Lemon, orange peel, tobacco, lightly spicy. Gentle mouthfeel with supple yet sufficient acid. Went through malo.
