Domaine Ostertag is an Alsatian wine estate that covers 15 hectares. The family-owned domain, now managed by André Ostertag, was created in 1966 and was one of the first to introduce biodynamic farming (in 1998) as well as the aging of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc in oak barrels.
Domaine Ostertag has five vineyards where they cultivate Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc as well as Muscat, Pinot Noir, Gewuztraminer and Silvaner.

Whole bunches pressing for 8 hours is followed by a fermentation that starts with indigenous yeats in 228 litres barrels. It is then aged for 11 months on its lees in oak barrels. This Pinot Gris is made in a dry style.
