The 2021 Domaine Ostertag Le Berceau Riesling is a beautifully pure and terroir-driven Alsace Riesling sourced from the Pflanzer vineyard, a special site used by Domaine Ostertag for its massal selection nursery vines. Farmed biodynamically and grown on well-drained pebble-rich soils, this wine offers expressive aromas of lime, candied citrus zest, white flowers and stone fruit, supported by subtle mineral and spice notes.
On the palate, it is vibrant and finely structured, with bright acidity carrying flavours of lemon, green apple and orchard fruits. A pronounced mineral backbone adds tension and precision, while the texture remains elegant and seamless through to a long, dry finish. Fresh, focused and complex, it is a Riesling that beautifully balances energy with depth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for Riesling lovers seeking a serious yet approachable Alsace expression with purity, minerality and ageing potential. Enjoy now for its youthful freshness or cellar for the next 8–12 years as it develops further complexity. Perfect with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, roast chicken, pork dishes or classic Alsatian cuisine.
