Demeter Certified Biodynamic Wine.
To call André Ostertag a revolutionary winemaker is to tell just half the story. He is a pioneer, certainly, but also an ardent environmentalist. After training in Burgundy, André returned to the family domaine in Alsace with renewed zeal: he lowered yields considerably and introduced viticultural and vinification techniques from other regions to his own home ground. He looks for the nuance of terroir rather than the typicity of a grape varietal. André rejects formulaic, scientifically engineered wines, and since going biodynamic in 1997, has been an active member of the natural farming community.
The merest touch of russet-pear-peel aroma appears on the nose before hints of lemon join in. The palate continues in this earthy pear and light lemon fashion. It makes for a light, expressive, dry and very versatile wine
