2021 Domaine Ostertag Riesling "Le Berceau Lieu-Dit Pflanzer", Alsace, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
"Le Berceau" is sourced from the Pflanzer lieu-dit, a distinctive vineyard in northern Alsace known for its limestone-rich soils and cool microclimate. Planted exclusively to Riesling and farmed biodynamically, the vineyard produces wines of exceptional precision and aromatic complexity. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on the fine lees in large, neutral oak foudres, the 2021 vintage highlights the site's tension, minerality, and elegance. The cool growing season yielded a wine with remarkable freshness, balance, and the capacity to evolve gracefully for many years.
