The 2022 Domaine Ostertag Fronholz Riesling is a striking and mineral-driven Alsace Riesling sourced from the renowned Fronholz vineyard in Epfig. Farmed biodynamically and grown on sandstone-rich soils with high quartz content, this wine reflects Domaine Ostertag’s commitment to terroir expression and precision. The nose is lifted and complex, revealing aromas of lime, citrus blossom, pear and white peach, complemented by floral notes and distinctive wet stone minerality.
On the palate, it is focused and beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of citrus, orchard fruits and subtle exotic fruit. A pronounced mineral backbone and saline edge add tension and depth, leading to a long, dry and elegant finish. Powerful yet refined, this is a Riesling with impressive ageing potential and remarkable site expression.
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 complexity. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar for 10–15 years as it develops greater depth and mineral character. Perfect with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, sushi, roast chicken or classic Alsatian cuisine.
