About Weinbach
Domaine Weinbach is an Alsatian estate comprised of 30 hectares of vineyard. A true believer in the principles of organic and naturally harmonious process, Domaine Weinbach has been completely biodynamically farmed since 1998. Catherine Faller is the current head of the domaine, she insists on vinification in expensive but rewarding oak vats with indigenous yeast. Providing their exceptional terroir, their beautiful wines convey a sense of time and place.
Domaine Weinbach is also one of the few estates in the region that solely produce wines from their own vineyard holdings. Because of this, it allows Catherine Faller to take full control of the vineyard, and ultimately the fruit quality and the wine. Having joint by her sons, Eddy and Theo, they form a formidable triumvirate of talented and driven winemakers producing some of the very finest expressions of Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer in the entire region.

Breathtaking nose of tropical flowers and foliage after rain, with a whiff of smoke in the air. This has spectacular elegance and minerality for a wine of this stature (14.5% alcohol). I love the fresh-ginger note that already suggests the kind of dishes that would pair beautifully with this masterpiece of restrained extravagance. Only a hint of sweetness at the ravishing finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.Inc. VAT£383.09 -

If you’ve never tasted a great Alsace pinot gris, here is the place to start! All the richness and creaminess we expect from this category, but married to lively acidity and pristine clarity. We love the super ripe pear bouquet with hints of exotic fruit and flowers. No perceptible tannins and still dry enough at the delicately spicy and mineral finish to be food-flexible. Drink or hold.Inc. VAT£347.09 -

Exotic aromas of orange, apricot, smoke and stone, with hints of dried fruits. Sweeter and more glyceral than the foregoing samples, but this has essentially the same residual sugar. The strong wet stone flavor gives the wine uncanny energy in the middle palate. A big, powerful, very long and aromatic riesling that splendidly showcases this superb grand cru site.Inc. VAT£336.25 -
