This wine comes from a sector of the Osterberg grand cru, where the vines average 40 years of age, planted on limestone over sandstone. It’s an ornate, traditional style of Alsace wine, with scents of ginger and toast, orange and lavender. Its gentle texture is dynamic, managing to feel relaxed while a current of tension drives the flavors underneath. Those flavors range from fresh thyme to dried cherry skins, ready to elevate boudin blanc or roast veal, and would be fascinating with traditional Alsace fare, like a savory onion tart.
