Robert Parker

"The Ostenberg Gewurztraminer opens with a clean, ripe, rich nose with smoky, fine scents of broken rocks. Rich and juicy on the palate, with lovely gourmet fruit, soft but elegant acidity, fine tannins and good salinity, this full-bodied, aromatic Gewurz reveals a soft but complex finish with lovely minerality and tannic grip." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Estate rated (2017 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Étienne Loew fights courageously to make known the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winegrowers bottle their wines. Careful vinification and long ageing (mainly in stainless steel tanks) produce pure, precise wines, and the Rieslings are very dry.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Rated (2017 guide) 90/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

Ostenberg Gewurztraminer opens with a clean, ripe, rich nose with smoky, fine scents of broken rock. Rich and juicy on the palate, with lovely greedy fruit, elegant acidity, fine tannins and good salinity, this full-bodied, aromatic Gewurz reveals a soft but complex finish with lovely minerality and tannic grip.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Domaine rated (2017 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs).

About the domain :

For several years now, this estate, skilfully managed by Etienne Loew, has been winning us over with its consistent production and the very high quality of its wines. He has found the key to fully embracing the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and defends this somewhat isolated vineyard like a guard watching over his rampart! His touch is sure, his thinking open, and his wines stand out for their elegance. An estate worth discovering.
