Bred at the Hop Research Center in Hüll and released in 1993, Select, often called “Spalter Select”, was crafted to capture the elegance of classic noble varieties like Spalt, Tettnang, and Saaz, delivering a refined, traditional character with modern consistency.
The result of a cross of Spalt and Hallertau Mittelfrüher, Spalter Select retains some of the finer characteristics of both these varieties and is considered a slightly spicier version of Spalt.
