Weinbach Riesling Colette

Weinbach Riesling Colette

$99.99

At the foot of the majestic hill of the Schlossberg, in a setting of vineyards and roses, sits Domaine Weinbach, the  "stream of wine", named after the small stream that crosses it, built in 1612 by the Capuchin monks. Sold as a national property at the French Revolution, the Domaine was acquired in 1898 by the Faller brothers, who passed it on to their son and nephew, Theo. A great figure of the Alsatian vineyards and ardent promoter of his recognition in Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, Théo Faller works for the quality of Alsace wines and the enhancement of their incomparable terroirs and grape varieties. In love with his property, he develops, expands and embellishes it. From 1979 on, his wife Colette and his daughters Catherine and Laurence showed the same passion for the great wines of Alsace and the same unwavering attachment to quality. Since 2016, Catherine Faller has been managing the Domaine with her sons Eddy and Théo. This domain stands as one of the greatest white wine producers in France.

The 2022 Riesling Cuvee Colette was harvested in the deeper yet granitic soils of the lieu-dit Bonnes Terres at the foot of the Schlossberg from 50 to 60- year-old vines. Just a glimpse of ripe yellow plums appears on the otherwise shy nose. The full lemon-laced juiciness of the fruit hits the palate, pervaded by zesty freshness and framed by a gentle citrus pith that also makes the mouth water on the dry finish. This slight phenolic structure will stand the test of time despite being delicious now. (fully dry)."
