2005 Weinbach, Domaine Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg

Riesling: 1500ml

$159.99

about this wine:

Riesling is the prized grape of Alsace and also holds a special place at Domaine Weinbach. The domain's Rieslings have a fine and delicate fruitiness, tend to be racy, nervy, dry, and long on the palate. They can be opulent and concentrated, pairing well with various foods such as cooked or raw fish, shellfish and seafood, coq au vin, some white meat dishes, and goat cheese.

The Schlossberg site at Weinbach is home to most of its Riesling wines, excluding the Riesling Reserve and the Cuvee Theo which come from the Clos des Capucins. The rich soil of Schlossberg lends itself extremely well to Riesling, giving it a very pure fruitiness, personality, and remarkable finesse. The soils are sandy and rich in
minerals, not very deep at the top of the slope but grow deeper on the descent.

The Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg comes from the upper portion of the hill where the soils are not very deep. The wine is acidic and balanced with notes of honey, apple blossom, grapefruit, peach, white flower, and some lime. It has a medium body with a dry character and can be paired with fish on the grill, oysters and other kinds of seafood, as well as with traditional alsacian choucroute.

Wine Spectator, May 2007

This elegant white shows great definition thanks to its laserlike acidity, which is balanced by honeyed notes of apple blossom, red grapefruit and apricot, with a touch of lime. A vein of minerality leads to the spicy finish. Drink now through 2013.-B.S.

About Winery

At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill in Alsace stands one of the finest estates in all of France. Domaine Weinbach is run with consummate skill and total dedication by Colette Faller and her two daughters, Catherine and Laurence. In the words of Robert Parker, "Colette and her daughter Laurence...pushed Weinbach to the pinnacle of Alsace's qualitative pyramid." Domaine Weinbach was established by the Order of Capuchin monks in 1612. The "Clos des Capuchins" vineyard surrounds the domaine; the prestigious "Schlossberg" vineyard (the first terroir in Alsace to receive the status of Grand Cru), the Grand Cru "Furstentum", and the adjacent "Altenbourg" vineyard rise above the clos. The domaine has 62 acres of vineyards in the heart of Kayserberg's hills and valleys.
