About The Wine
The Hill of Schlossberg would finish on a podium if 'Best Riesling Vineyard in the World' were an upcoming Olympic event. The lucky people at Domaine Weinbach have the largest vineyard holdings on the hill, and make exceptional wines every year from this rocky, granite outcrop.
They make Riesling in a minimalist, old-school style, with whole-bunch pressing, wild-yeast fermentation with no additions, and elevage in mighty, and mighty-old ,oak casks.
It's dry and rich, full and linear, powerful and delicate. A wine to change your perception of Riesling itself.
About Domaine Weinbach
Domaine Weinbach is an icon of the Alsace wine region, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture and winemaking, and producer of some of the world's greatest aromatic wines.
Located the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill, Domaine Weinbach is a “stream of wine”, named after the small waterway that traverses the property, and dates back all the way to 1612 when it was established by Capuchin monks.
The Faller family farms 27 hectares of vineyards, much of which is Grand Cru. The fame may go to the imposing Schlossberg GC but equal renown should be extended to the walled Clos de Capucins that surrounds the winery and the Furstentum GC, celebrated for exceptional Gewurztraminer.
Viticulture has been organic for many years but a conversion to biodynamics culminated in certification for the 2006 vintage onwards.
