The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Osterberg'
Grand Cru of Ribeauvillé in Haut-Rhin (full east-facing aspect on 10–30% slopes, gravelly clay soils over shell limestone Muschelkalk and dolomitic Lettenkohle with variegated marls). Riesling is the flagship white — powerful and austere with the most elegant and expressive acidity, developing characteristic smoky aromas with age. Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris each a third on chalky marls; wines of exceptional keeping potential.
The wine region of Alsace
Capital of great French aromatic whites, most often dry and single-varietal. Straight, mineral Riesling (lemon, gunflint), opulent, exuberant Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose, spices), round, smoky Pinot Gris, floral, crisp Muscat, supple Pinot Blanc. Fine, fruity Crémants d'Alsace, exceptional sweet Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. 15,500 ha at the foot of the Vosges on varied soils, 51 Grands Crus since 1975.
The word of the wine: Sour
Said of a wine that is unpleasantly pungent and has a vinegar-like odour.
