    Description Gewurztraminer "Les Jardins" Sélection de Grains Nobles

    Estate

    Domaine Ostertag is a benchmark winery in Alsace. Founded by André Ostertag, this family-run estate in Epfig is known for its precision winemaking and sensitivity to terroir. They cultivate their vines biodynamically and focus on expressing each vineyard site. The estate consists of around 14 hectares with limited production for higher quality. Each cuvée reflects the unique character of its origin.

    Vineyard

    The vineyard lies in the Bas-Rhin region of Alsace, on diverse soils including marl, sandstone, and schist. The continental climate offers strong thermal amplitude, ideal for aromatic grape ripening. The estate follows biodynamic principles since the 1990s to preserve soil health and plant balance. Gewurztraminer thrives here, showcasing aromatic intensity and minerality. The vineyard work favors vine expression over yield.

    Wine

    This 2017 Gewurztraminer from Domaine Ostertag is a dry, aromatic white wine of elegance. It balances the varietal richness with precision and freshness. Less sweet than typical Gewurztraminer, it highlights purity and gastronomic appeal. It pairs well with spicy dishes, cheeses, and Asian cuisine. It is a wine crafted for the table, not for showiness.

    Vintage

    The 2017 vintage in Alsace was marked by great ripeness due to a warm, dry summer. Early harvest preserved freshness and aromatic definition. The white wines from this year show tension and balance. Healthy grapes and optimal conditions contributed to concentration. Aromatic varieties like Gewurztraminer performed particularly well.

    Vinification & Aging

    Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed for a clean juice. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine ages on fine lees for several months to gain texture and complexity. Minimal inputs are used to retain purity. The winemaking emphasizes freshness and varietal typicity.
