ABOUT THE WINE

Domaine Weinbach
Domaine Weinberger wines are remarkable for their balance and finesse, their intensity and concentration, which is achieved by drastically pruning the vines to limit yields per hectare to nearly one-half that typical in Alsace. Harvesting is late, done when the fruit attains optimum ripeness. All of the domaine's wines are produced from their own vineyards, a most unusual accomplishment in Alsace, and are therefore 100 % estategrown and estate-bottled.

Winemaker's Notes
The high part of the "grand cru" Schlossberg's hill. In a tense and very pure style, the Riesling Schlossberg tastes perfect with fish on the grill, oysters and other kinds of seafood, as well as with the traditional alsacian choucroute.

87 Rating
"Intense and concentrated, with a laser beam of pink grapefruit, tangy nectarine, quince, lemon grass and mineral flavors, with the acidity keeping the flavors fresh and lively. Drink now through 2006"
