Confidential wine selection, small estates & old vintage
The Les Vieilles Vignes de Sylvaner 2015 from Domaine Ostertag is a refined white wine made from old Sylvaner vines, a typical grape of Alsace. Led by André Ostertag, the domaine is known for its high-quality, often biodynamic wines that showcase Alsace's terroir with a modern approach.
Color: The wine has a pale yellow hue, sometimes slightly golden, indicating its maturity and aging, with possible silver or green reflections typical of well-crafted Sylvaners.
Nose: The nose is expressive and complex, featuring rich aromas of white fruits (apple, pear) and citrus (lemon, grapefruit), along with subtle notes of white flowers (like acacia) and herbaceous or mineral touches. Hints of honey and wax also indicate careful aging.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is rich and deep, with a lively, fresh attack and well-integrated acidity supporting the flavors of ripe fruits and citrus. Its creamy yet fluid texture, complemented by a beautiful minerality, adds precision and length. Flavors of white fruits are accompanied by notes of honey and subtle spice.
Finish: The finish is long and persistent, marked by notes of white fruits, citrus, and honey, with a slight mineral touch that enhances freshness and purity, leaving an impression of finesse and depth.
Food Pairing: This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood (oysters, scallops), grilled fish, Alsatian cuisine (such as sauerkraut), and creamy chicken dishes or soft cheeses.
