Johannes Selbach is one of the most prolific, high quality producers of wine in the Mosel region of Germany. We here at Stage Left & Catherine Lombardi's have been fans of Johannes' wines since the mid 1990's shortly after we opened our doors in 1992. We always make it a point to see Johannes when we're on buying trips in Europe, and Johannes has been our Winemaker guest of honor at several of our Winemaker Dinners over the years, incluing one of our now famous ZOOM Winemaker Dinners during the pandemic. 

This is Johannes Selbach’s answer to the non-aloholic wine category – Funkelwürtz translates to  “Spicy Sparkler” which is how Johannes told me that the wine tasted the first time he tried it. This is a slightly effervescent and aromatic wine from grapes grown in the Mosel. Johannes ferments the wine to around 30g/L of residual sugar. Johannes then sends the finished wine to a facility that uses membrane technology to remove the alcohol. This NA wine is refreshing, crisp, and very easy to drink while maintaining the complexity that the wines from Selbach are known for.
