Domaine Ostertag 2018 Experimental Sylvaner: An Alsace Adventure

Discover a truly distinctive expression of Sylvaner from Domaine Ostertag in France’s renowned Alsace region. This 2018 vintage isn’t your typical white wine; it’s a captivating experiment for the adventurous palate. Crafted from a single, perfectly ripe parcel bursting with natural acidity, this unique cuvée underwent an extraordinary 18-month fermentation on its lees – long after its siblings were bottled.

The result? A raw, complex Alsace white wine that challenges expectations. Experience a fascinating interplay of vibrant high acidity and unexpected richness simultaneously. Unlike conventional Sylvaners, this bottle offers an off-the-beaten-path journey for enthusiasts seeking rare French wines.

Here’s what makes it special:

• Extended Lees Contact: The prolonged 18-month fermentation in tank imparts remarkable texture and evolving depth.
• Oxygen Evolution: Unlock its full potential! This age-worthy Sylvaner dramatically opens and improves with aeration. Decanting is highly recommended to reveal hidden layers of complexity.
• Food Pairing Versatility: Its bright acidity cuts through richness, making it an exciting partner for seafood dishes, creamy cheeses, or flavorful Asian cuisine.

Embrace the unconventional. This limited-production Domaine Ostertag Sylvaner delivers a singular tasting experience for collectors and explorers craving unique, terroir-driven wines that tell a story. Alcohol: 13%.
