94 Pts Ian Dagata - Vinous Media |
"Pale straw-green. Initially reticent aromas of pear and quince, with aromatic herbs, lemon and minerals emerging with aeration to give the nose a more explosive personality. Bright, juicy and very dense, with a laser beam of acidity providing focus to the complex, layered flavors of lime, pear and white pepper. This knockout Sylvaner finishes very long and bright. Despite its 20 g/l residual sugar, the typically high acidity level of 2010 makes this wine seem practically dry. Another sign of this wineâs balance is the fact that it has 15.2% alcohol but is very well hidden. Drink Window 2015-2030." Reviewed April, 2015 |
Description:
Albert Seltz is situated in the heart of Mittelbergheim in the Bas-Rhin of Alsace. Albert Seltz, the 14th generation owner and winemaker, took over from his father in 1980 when he was only 19 years old. At that time, Albert had already developed a sense of the potential of his estate and a passion for the variety of Sylvaner. Immediately, he reduced the production by two thirds, reduced the yields, and converted to strictly sustainable organic agricultural practices.
In the cellar he practices minimal intervention, employing indigenous yeast and sur lie aging. In Alsace and beyond, Albert is known for his love of Sylvaner, so much so that he was instrumental in the national institute of Appellation d'Origine's decision to allow a Grand Cru Zotzenberg Sylvaner. Since the first vintage that will bear this distinction is 2005, today he calls the wine prior Sono Contento.
