Riesling "Fronholz" - Domaine Ostertag100% Riesling from Alsace, France. Biodynamic. "Perched on a hillside near the village of Epfig, the Fronholz vineyard is known for producing craggy, mineral driven Rieslings with bracing acidity. The Ostertag family farms their parcels biodynamically, and the Fronholzs vibrant mix of fruit and earth, flesh and structure, is their hallmark."
