DOMAINE OSTERTAG
Domaine Ostertag is one of Alsace’s most influential and visionary wine estates, celebrated for producing biodynamic wines of remarkable purity, elegance, and terroir expression. Based in the village of Epfig in northern Alsace, the estate has earned international acclaim through its commitment to sustainable viticulture and its distinctive interpretation of the region’s historic vineyard sites.
Founded by André Ostertag and now led by his son Arthur Ostertag, the family estate has played a pioneering role in promoting biodynamic farming in Alsace. The domaine is renowned for its philosophy that great wine begins in the vineyard, with a focus on biodiversity, soil vitality, and minimal intervention throughout the winemaking process.
The estate farms vineyards across a diverse range of terroirs, including sandstone, granite, limestone, and clay-rich soils. This geological diversity allows Domaine Ostertag to produce wines that clearly express their vineyard origins while maintaining freshness, complexity, and balance.
Domaine Ostertag is particularly renowned for Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, and Pinot Blanc. The Rieslings are noted for their precision, mineral tension, citrus fruit, and exceptional ageing potential. Pinot Gris offers texture and richness balanced by freshness, while Gewürztraminer delivers aromatic complexity with notes of lychee, rose petal, spice, and exotic fruit.
The winery follows certified biodynamic practices and employs natural fermentations, gentle handling, and minimal cellar intervention. This approach allows each wine to express its terroir authentically while preserving purity and vitality.
Domaine Ostertag’s wines are frequently regarded among the finest examples of modern Alsace winemaking. The estate’s single-vineyard and lieu-dit bottlings are highly sought after by collectors, sommeliers, and wine enthusiasts for their individuality, elegance, and age-worthiness.
Today, Domaine Ostertag stands as one of Alsace’s benchmark producers, crafting wines that combine tradition, innovation, and a profound respect for nature.
