| Description: | Muenchberg is Grand Cru Alsace at its most regal. "Muench" is derived from the Cistercian monks who first planted vines here in the 11th centrury. The south-facing amphitheater is composed of pink sandstone, volanic sediment, and limestone. At 300 meters above sea level, Muenchberg is all about definition and lenghth of finish.

Ostertag has long gone against the grain of Alsatian expectations, crafting dry, disciplined wines that still summon the sunshine that most marks the region.
