| Review: |
"The recycling bin outside the average Alsatian household likely contains more empty bottles of Sylvaner than of “noble” Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat, and Gewurztraminer combined. It comes as no surprise: with unrivaled versatility at table and guaranteed mouthwatering abilities, the grape brings something new and fresh to the table. André Ostertag’s fine old-vine rendition, for example, provides utter satisfaction vintage after vintage, and Sylvaner has even achieved grand cru recognition in the Zotzenberg vineyard, a site more than capable of yielding long-lived whites that bear a rich complexity. Jean Boxler is another accomplished ambassador of the variety, and the remarkable finesse of his sleek, stony, apple blossom–scented 2018 suggests that Sylvaner possesses some noble DNA of its own." |
