2018 vintage. Good representation of the sweeter side of Gewurztraminer. Equivalent to spätlese ripeness and weight. Candied pink grapefruit, tangerine, gardenia, jasmine, white tea, poached pear, candied citrus peel, lychee. Lacks the oiliness that the variety sometimes tends to, lots of acidity to counterbalance the sweetness. — 2 years ago

An initial note of honeycomb which blew off. Not a variety I’ve had much but I must say this is intriguing with an interesting story. Originally from Transylvania, hence the name. Sylvaner had been originally planted as up to a third of the plantings in Alsace but now only 6%. declining in favour of Pinot Noir and Riesling. Ostertag’s Sylvaner vines have an average age of 55 years and have been farmed with biodynamic methods since 1998. The age of the vine brings a complex mineral wine with great depth of flavour which had the reputation of being quite dilute. Fermented naturally in Stainless steel and kept on lees for one year. Andre Ostertag, the owner, says Sylvaner is a cornerstone of Alsatian food and wine culture. I found the wine to be a hypothetical cross between Riesling, Chardonnay and Semillon. I loved it. — 4 months ago

A very different and distinct nose... some sauternes aromas along with honey and spring flowers. A rich body with a slight honey sweetness. Alsatian Adventure private tasting. — 8 months ago
