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.

Just a hint of an intriguing curry note accents the Gala apple, white peach, and lime flavors in this floral, aromatic white. Elegant and well put together, with juicy acidity that leaves a mouthwatering impression on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 240 cases imported. -AN
