Riesling, Muenchberg Grand Cru, Ostertag - 2021

Provenance: Alsace
Appellation: Alsace
Domain: Ostertag
Grape variety(ies): Riesling
On-call time: 20 years
Alcohol degree: 13.5%
Classement: Grand Cru

A wine of incomparable nobility and length, with pulpy, delicate flesh. Here, the balance on the palate is due to the perfect complementarity of the sandstone and the volcano. The sensual, feminine sandstone provides the charm on the palate and the volcano, a primitive, masculine fire, allows it to stretch out to the fine, long, almost salty finish that is so characteristic of Muenchberg. Guide Vert RVF : 95/100

Technique

Viticulture

Grand Cru with a total surface area of 17 hectares, mostly planted with Riesling. We own 1.60 hectares cultivated in Biodynamic methods like the rest of the estate. The soil is made up of a combination of pink Vosges sandstone and volcanic sediments, a unique combination in Alsace. Its ideal altitude (between 250 and 300 metres) protects it from excessive heat, while preserving a great complexity in the wines.

Oenology

It was pressed in whole bunches using a pneumatic press and fermentation with indigenous yeasts lasted several months, which is beneficial to the complexity of the aromas and the ageing potential. It remains on its lees for a year in stainless steel tanks before being bottled in September.
