Description
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.
Tasting Notes
Complex and deep aromas of green mangoes and yellow peaches that mingle with floral note. The palate is mellow and generous with the aroma of candied Mirabelle lending a clarity of expression of the terroir. An excellent example of the combination of elegance and richness.
Critical Acclaim
95 points Wine Spectator
Rich and smoky, with a subtle core of racy acidity enlivening peach pie, quince paste and orange blossom flavors. It’s unctuous, with a thread of minerality that leads to the lingering, honeyed finish. Drink now through 2028.
