I had lunch with Johannes Selbach this afternoon and talked about his 2006 wines. At this point in time he expects only Auslese and above wines from this harvest. He stated that the sugar levels were the highest he has ever seen. I was at his place in October tasting the juice and not one was below BA level. Crop was very very small. He expects to bring me some of the wines that have finished fermentation sometimes in March of 07. If everything works out we will have a special public tasting of the wines. He feels that they will all be classics. He also stated that he has left two small plots un-harvested in hopes of obtaining some icewine this year.
