Really sexy, rounded and lovely. Lemon chiffon and rocks. The old vines very obviously add length on the palate and superior texture. #ostertag #alsace #sylvaner

100 yr old vines. Amazing texture which you can see as you pour! On lees- very wise for a ‘16

Lifted, bright, and rich, but completely balanced. Delicious.

Somewhat round with plenty of typical Alsatian white aromas -- white peaches, notably, in my mind. Not astoundingly complex, but this is a pleasant quaff.

Les vins d'André OSTERTAG sont énergiques et très charmant. Texture, aromatique presque riche mais tout en étant lumineux, frais! Très réussi!! Sur 2 hectares et les vignes ont environ 40 ans

Straw color. Peach pit and white peach skin aromas. The palate is much richer than expected without sacrificing acid. Flavors of Thai Basil and frozen peas with cold honey make this more interesting than pleasant. Palate lingers bit lots of the acid goes away to make it a touch cloying. $25 retail.

Not often I get to try some Sylvaner: surprisingly rich, creamy texture, but with a light, refreshing acidity.

Ostertag with a little grilled tuna on a 78 degree day in March. How good can it get.

Lifted bright green! So high and tight. This is really great value.
