Domaine Weinbach is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Alsace, France. The estate has a long and rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was founded by Capuchin monks. Today, the winery is run by the Faller family, who have been producing exceptional wines for generations.
One of their most renowned wines is the Riesling Cuvée Sainte Catherine Schlossberg Grand Cru. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Schlossberg vineyard, which is located on a steep slope overlooking the town of Kaysersberg. The vineyard has a unique microclimate that is influenced by the Vosges Mountains and the Alsace plain, which creates ideal growing conditions for Riesling grapes.
The Cuvée Sainte Catherine is named after the patron saint of the winery, and it is made using traditional winemaking techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on its lees for several months to develop its complex flavours and aromas.
The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of the Schlossberg terroir. It has a pale yellow colour with green reflections and a complex nose of citrus, white flowers, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is dry, crisp, and refreshing with a long, lingering finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with seafood, shellfish, and white meats.
Overall, Domaine Weinbach's Riesling Cuvée Sainte Catherine Schlossberg Grand Cru is a true masterpiece of Alsatian winemaking. It is a wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Schlossberg vineyard and the skill and expertise of the Faller family. It is a wine that will continue to impress for years to come and is a must-try for any wine lover.
