On the palate, it delivers a precise balance of ripe pear, peach, and apricot, lifted by citrus zest and underscored by a mineral backbone. Its racy acidity and dry finish give it a crystalline structure, while a subtle creaminess adds depth and elegance. This is a wine that speaks clearly of its biodynamic roots and the sandstone soils of the Fronholz vineyard—refined, energetic, and built to shine at the table.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLocated on the top and southwest slopes of the Epfig hill, the Fronholz vineyard produces wines with marked minerality, firm acidity, and elegant aromas that can be somewhat discreet in their youth. The estate’s four hectares are divided among Riesling (1 ha), Muscat (0.3 ha), Pinot Noir (0.3 ha), Pinot Gris (0.75 ha), Gewurztraminer (1.3 ha), and Sylvaner (0.35 ha).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003co:p style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eThe Domain: \u003c\/o:p\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robins Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46752503529729,"sku":"761503221339","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/images--1_563dd232-169d-4a53-91bf-079c9636659a.jpg?v=1766187621","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/domaine-ostertag-riesling-fronholz-2022","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
