WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Riesling is a premium white produced by renowned winemaker André Ostertag in the Alsace region located in north east France. Domaine Ostertag is a small family winery founded in 1966 in the village of Epfig, in Alsace. André is a biodynamic winegrower whose grapes for Les Jardins Riesling come from vines of over 30 years old grown on soils of white sand, quartz, clay and marl.
The grapes are harvested by hand, then destemmed and gently pressed. The resulting must is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks and remains there, on lees, for 12 months to produce a pure and site-expressive Riesling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Riesling offers a beautiful bouquet of citrus, honey, and white flowers.The palate is juicy, driven by steely acidity and vibrant flavors of green apple, lemon, and lime, with an underlying touch of minerality. The finish is balanced and well-integrated, with a lingering hint of honey and floral notes of acacia and blossom.

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.CUSTOMER RATING
