Domaine Weinbach - MV0 'Macération Vogelgarten 0 intrant' 2022

At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill surrounded by vines and roses, lies Domaine Weinbach. Named after the little stream which runs through the property, and planted with vines since the 9th century, it was established as a winery in 1612 by Capuchin friars. After being sold as national property during the French Revolution, it was acquired by the Faller brothers in 1898 who then left it to their son and nephew, Théo. Théo Faller was a prominent figure in Alsace winegrowing and an ardent defender of quality wine production. After his death in 1979, his wife Colette, his daughters Catherine and Laurence, and their team continued the family’s passion for the great wines of Alsace and its unrelenting commitment to excellence. Since 2016, Catherine has led the estate winery with her sons, Eddy and Théo. Employing both organic and biodynamic practices, Domaine Weinbach produces an exquisite range of wines: estate varietal wines including Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc, single vineyard wines that express the diversity of the terroir, and luscious yet balanced vendanges tardives and selections de grains nobles wines.

Seducing floral nose with touches of grapefruit and roses. Offers a firm yet gentle mouth feel, generously medium-bodied, built on the backbone of a mild acidity and soft tannins. Ending on a persistent and pleasant bitterness.

"Very complex, caramelized walnut nose with deep quince paste and dried apricot aromas. On the full-bodied palate there’s a balance Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris of forthright moderately dry tannins with dry richness. And at the end there is a delicate note of potpourri. Give this some time in the glass because it really opens up magnificently. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. No sulfites added. Unfiltered. Drink or hold.” - 95 Points, James Suckling
