Riesling Le Berceau Lieu Dit Pflanzer Domaine Ostertag Ostertag, 2022

Riesling Le Berceau Lieu Dit Pflanzer from Domaine Ostertag is a refined Alsace white that captures the precision and energy for which the estate is known. Sourced from a distinguished lieu-dit, it offers a vivid expression of Riesling with the kind of detail and tension that have made Ostertag one of the region’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a bright, pale straw hue with a clear, luminous sheen. The nose is expressive and layered, with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, wet stone, and a subtle herbal lift. On the palate, it is sleek and incisive, balancing mouthwatering acidity with ripe fruit, saline minerality, and a finely focused finish. As with many top Alsace Rieslings, this cuvée has the structure to develop beautifully in bottle. With time, its citrus and floral profile can evolve toward more complex notes of honey, petrol, and dried stone fruit while preserving its freshness and line.

Production
Le Berceau Lieu Dit Pflanzer comes from a named site in Alsace, where the cool continental climate and varied soils are well suited to Riesling’s aromatic precision and natural acidity. Domaine Ostertag is known for working with a strong respect for terroir and for farming its vineyards with a thoughtful, site-driven approach. The grapes are harvested selectively, then vinified with minimal intervention to preserve purity, texture, and the character of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile white that pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, sushi, grilled fish, roast chicken, and dishes with bright citrus or creamy sauces. It also works well with Alsace specialties, vegetable tartes, and spicy Asian cuisine. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless the wine is showing particularly closed on opening.

Producer
Domaine Ostertag is one of the benchmark producers of Alsace, widely admired for its expressive wines and deep commitment to terroir. Founded by André Ostertag and now carried forward by the family estate, it has played an important role in elevating the region’s reputation for thoughtful, characterful wine. The domaine is especially noted for its disciplined vineyard work, distinctive site bottlings, and consistently high quality across vintages.
