The 2024 Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Sylvaner Vieilles Vignes is an elegant French white wine from Alsace, produced by the renowned Ostertag family. Crafted from old-vine Sylvaner, this wine reflects the region's distinctive terroir, offering impressive freshness, refined texture and subtle mineral complexity. Its anticipated aromas reveal crisp green apple, ripe pear, white peach and lemon zest, complemented by delicate notes of white flowers, fresh herbs and wet stone.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of juicy pear, yellow apple, citrus peel and white nectarine unfold alongside hints of almond, delicate herbs and stony minerality. The old vines contribute to an impression of concentration and depth, while lively acidity maintains elegance and balance. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving lingering notes of orchard fruit, citrus and gentle savoury spice.
