Weinbach is one of the world’s great white wine domaines. Greatness is not always easy to define, yet here it’s straightforward. There’s the legendary quality of the domaine’s terroirs for a start (Weinbach is the largest land holder on the Schlossberg hill, one of the world’s premier sites for Riesling). Then, there is the outstanding, certified biodynamic work in the vines, the low yields (typically less than 35 hl/ha) and the strict fruit selection at harvest time. Furthermore, there is the classic, minimalist and refined-over-many-decades practice in the cellars that includes whole-cluster pressing, wild-yeast fermentation with no additions, and maturation in ancient, colossal casks. Finally, there’s the brilliance and longevity of the wines themselves, a high standard Domaine Weinbach has been achieving for longer than anyone can remember.

Exotic, rich, pungent nose with truly exciting fruit. Crunchy sensation and really deep flavours. Passion fruit flavours and creamy texture. Electric impact and no shortage of ripe fruit but a long, bone-dry finish. Great stuff.

2020 Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru

Delightfully firm with so much personality and the sensation that you are licking stones in the vineyard! So firm, so pungent, yet so fruity. Gorgeous wine, essence of Riesling and already approachable. Steely finish suggests a long life ahead. Bone dry and very long.

2020 Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru 'Cuvee Ste Catherine'
Extremely Limited - $245
Biodynamic. This cuvée is not only a truly memorable expression of Riesling, but it is also simply, one of the great white wines of France. It’s crafted from five plots of 60-plus-year-old vines at the heart of the Schlossberg slope where the sun exposure and granitic, mineral-rich soils beget a particularly deep, layered and profound dry Riesling.
The wine takes its name from the day of Sainte Catherine, which falls on the 25th of November. Early vintages of the wine were picked on or around that date, drawing their opulence and complexity from Alsace’s late autumn. Today, it can be picked as much as one month earlier. It does, however, remain the most extraordinary dry Riesling of the domaine. The winemaking remains identical to the Schlossberg, yet here the terroir manifests more intensity, focussed concentration and mineral resonance. Welcome to the big leagues.
