History and origin

Heritage of the Lords of Ribeaupierre.

Grand Cru Osterberg has been part of the Grand Cru family since 1992. However, it has already been mentioned in documents dating back to the Middle Ages, when the Lords of Ribeaupierre cultivated their vines there.

At the heart of this Grand Cru lies the cellar’s finest jewel: the famous Clos du Zahnacker. It has been owned by the Cave de Ribeauvillé since 1965. It has historically been planted with three grape varieties: Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.
