WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Ostertag Heissenberg Riesling is an aromatic white wine produced by the renowned winemaker André Ostertag in the Alsace region of France. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Heissenberg vineyard. Heissenberg translates to hot mountain, and the southerly facing vineyard is well exposed to the sun resulting in ripe fruit expression and powerful wines. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with natural fermentation and the use of stainless steel to offer the most direct expression of the vineyard. The resulting wine is a dry and powerful Riesling with a vibrant acidity, intense minerality, and notes of citrus, peach, and floral aromas. It is a perfect match for seafood, spicy dishes, and creamy and washed-rind cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine Ostertag

Region: Alsace

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles. Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.
