Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Riesling

When it comes to Riesling, few names command as much respect as André Ostertag, a true revolutionary in Alsace winemaking. Known for pushing boundaries and redefining tradition, André sought to express the unique nuances of terroir over the conventional typicity of grape varietals. His estate, a relatively young venture from the 1960s, spans 13 hectares over 75 meticulously farmed plots across five villages. Now farmed biodynamically, the Ostertag family’s dedication to low yields and maximum ripeness is evident in every bottle.

Though André handed over the reins to his son Arthur in 2017, the family’s commitment to crafting wines of purity and complexity remains. Arthur, having worked alongside his father and honed his skills around the world, has masterfully continued the legacy with this Riesling from the "Les Jardins" vineyard.

This Riesling is a true reflection of Alsace's finest, combining zesty citrus fruit with a touch of apricot and a clean, crisp profile. Bone dry and fruit-driven, it delights with delicate notes of white peach and flowers. Beneath the brightness lies a beautiful contrast—a saline minerality tempered by a subtle, creamy texture that adds depth and elegance. It’s pure, refreshing, and impeccably balanced, with every sip offering a glimpse into the biodynamic methods and terroir that shaped it.

For those seeking a Riesling with energy, finesse, and the Ostertag signature of innovation, this bottle is a must.
