The 2021 Domaine Ostertag Clos Mathis Riesling is a distinctive and age-worthy Alsace Riesling sourced from a small walled vineyard in Ribeauvillé, planted on steep granite and gneiss slopes. Farmed biodynamically by Domaine Ostertag, this site is known for producing Rieslings of exceptional precision, minerality and longevity. The nose reveals aromas of lime zest, green apple, white flowers and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle notes of wet stone and crushed rock minerality.
On the palate, it is vibrant and beautifully structured, with bright acidity supporting flavours of citrus, orchard fruits and a pronounced mineral backbone. The texture is focused and precise, leading to a long, dry finish with impressive tension and depth. While youthful and energetic today, this is a Riesling built to evolve gracefully with time.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for Riesling lovers seeking a serious, terroir-driven wine with purity, freshness and excellent ageing potential. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar for 10–15 years as it develops greater complexity. Perfect with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, roast poultry, pork dishes or classic Alsatian cuisine.
