Domaine Ostertag Pinots ‘Les Jardin’ Pinot Gris 2021
Description
Description
The brainchild of André Ostertag, a rebellious winegrower and staunch champion of biodynamic methods, Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Pinot Gris is a white wine made from the Pinot Gris variety in the AOC Alsace, in Alsace (France).
Founded in 1966, Domaine Ostertag is a family project where vineyard quality is paramount. They have a total of 14 hectares spread over 80 vineyards that are grouped into 5 spectacular plots. This is where André Ostertag produces an average of 90,000 bottles a year, which can be divided into fruit wines, terroir wines and sweet wines.
His Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Pinot Gris wine comes from several vineyards located in Epfig, a town in the Lower Rhine. These Pinot Gris vines are planted on rich soils of clayey sandstone, loess and shale and are cultivated using a holistic approach. André is not only concerned with managing the material needs of the plant but he also cares about working with the vital energies in nature. He does this so that the fruit showcases the character of such unique terroir as much as possible.
In the winery, the Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Pinot Gris grapes are pressed whole in bunches and the resulting must is fermented with native yeasts in 228 litre oak barrels. The wine spends 11 months there on lees before being bottled.
Made from very complex soils, Domaine Ostertag Les Jardins Pinot Gris is a white wine where the fragrance and concentration are enhanced by its oak aging.

Alsatian wine
Alsace is a unique wine region in North Eastern France, bordering Germany and having also been under German control for much of its existence. Due to this influence, unlike other French regions, wines from Alsace are mostly single varietal bottlings and are also labelled with the variety. They also are legally required to use a tall slimmer bottle called flûtes d'Alsace, that is also commonly seen with German wines.
Almost all the wine produced in the region is white (90%) except for Pinot Noir which is used mainly for sparkling wine. Alsace is most known for its Riesling, which is dry, fresh and floral in its youth but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Following behind is Gewurztraminer with signature spice and beautiful lychee aromatics. The smell of this wine is intoxicating, it is used to make dry but also late harvest dessert wines. Pinot Gris is also a prized variety of the region with its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavours.
In Autumn humidity builds up to facilitate the development of “noble rot” to produce late-picked sweet wines. In Alsace there are two classifications for late harvest wines: Vendange Tardive (VT) and Sélection de Grains Nobles (SGN). VT for regular late harvest wines and SGN meaning grapes affected by noble rot.
Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Auxerrois, Chasselas and Sylvaner.
