Ostertag Riesling Le Berceau Lieu Dit Pflanzer Domaine 2022

The 2022 Riesling Le Berceau is from clay and marl soils. It opens with the scent of a just-extinguished candle, followed by creaminess, hinting at ripe, juicy, yellow fruit with an almost tropical overtone. The palate is smooth, delivering that lovely, fleshy juiciness promised on the nose. This is framed and guided by fine, bright acidity that becomes deliciously pervasive on the finish. The 2022 starts with exquisite generosity and tapers toward precision at the end. Lovely. (Bone-dry)
