Sylvaner - Ostertag Les Vieilles Vignes

92 Points, Vinous: "Honey, chamomile, pear and apricot on the soft fruity nose. Then rich, ripe and round, presenting lively flavors of banana, quince and minerals. At once creamy but fresh (Ostertag puts the Sylvaner through a full malolactic, making for a much creamier wine than usual... This features a long, precise finish that hints at green herbs (as the wine spends one year on the lees) and coriander. Made from vines that average 55 years of age (Ostertag owns 13 different plots of Sylvaner in Epfig and Nothalten that range from 30 to 75 years of age). Drinking Window: 2019 - 2024." (January 2019)
