Domaine Ostertag 'Les Jardins' 2023 Riesling Alsace

750ml bottle

12.5% abv

Forward fruit from its sandstone and clay influences. Floral creaminess and fresh green apple. The palate is smooth, ripe, and gentle, subtle and salty, creamy yet driven by freshness. Balanced and bone-dry.

100% biodynamically farmed, hand-harvested riesling

To call André Ostertag a revolutionary winemaker is to tell just half the story. He is a pioneer, certainly, but also an ardent environmentalist. After training in Burgundy, André returned to the family domaine in Alsace with renewed zeal: he lowered yields considerably and introduced viticultural and vinification techniques from other regions to his own home ground. He looks for the nuance of terroir rather than the typicity of a grape varietal. André rejects formulaic, scientifically engineered wines, and since going biodynamic in 1997, has been an active member of the natural farming community.
