Andre' Ostertag is clearly one of the most dynamic producers in Alsace today: and certainly one of the highest rated. Domaine Ostertag is a family run property comprising 12 hectares spread over more than 75 small plots of vines within 5 villiages : Epfig (55%), Nothalten (34%), Itterswiller (4%), Ribeauville' (6%) and Albe' (1%). Biodynamism was extended to 100% of the Domaine in 1998, precluding any use of herbicides, chemical fertilisers and insecticides. All viticultural work is done manually, including harvest. In the cellar, press cycles are long and conducted without artificial yeasts and wines are left on their lees.
