Ostertag Clos Mathis

Domaine Ostertag Clos Mathis 2021 opens with crystalline aromas of lime zest, white peach, and green apple, layered with jasmine, verbena, and a finely etched wet‑stone minerality that reflects the steep, granitic soils of Ribeauvillé’s historic Clos. The palate is taut, linear, and beautifully chiseled, offering citrus‑driven purity supported by vibrant acidity and a cool saline thread that keeps the wine focused and energetic. Subtle notes of grapefruit pith, fennel seed, and crushed rock add quiet complexity without disturbing the wine’s sleek, dry, and almost architectural core. The finish is long, clean, and confidently mineral, showcasing a Riesling of precision, tension, and unmistakable Ostertag finesse—an elegant, terroir‑transparent expression of this singular clos.
