Ostertag Riesling Heissenberg 2002

Alsace, FranceDomaine Ostertag is a family run property comprising 12 hectares spread over more than 75 small plots of vines within five villages. Look for a lime rind, green pear, tarte tatin (baked apple caramel), and nectarine nose. Rich, round, long, mineral, baked apple, spicy pear flavours with a buttery, citrus, peach skin finish. Great finesse for the richness and fine acidity should be able to age 3-7 years. Biodynamism was extended to 100 per cent of the domaine in 1998, precluding any use of herbicides, chemical fertilisers and insecticides.
