$751.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Weinbach Cuvee Colette Riesling is, by all reckoning, one of the best Rieslings in Alsace. It presents beautiful aromas of white stone fruits, zesty citrus, and even tropical fruits, thanks to the hot growing season. The palate shows good structure and rich flavours of citrus and stone and tropical fruits.

Despite the hot weather, the acidity level remained high, giving the Riesling a nice energy, which matches swimmingly with the full-bodied texture of the wine. With a few more years in bottle, the Colette Riesling will develop a lovely smokiness and pleasant tones of kerosene. In the meantime, pair it with any dish featuring seafood or white meat.

About Domaine Weinbach

Domaine Weinbach is an icon of the Alsace wine region, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture and winemaking, and producer of some of the world’s greatest aromatic wines.

Located the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill, Domaine Weinbach is a “stream of wine”, named after the small waterway that traverses the property, and dates back all the way to 1612 when it was established by Capuchin monks.

The Faller family farms 27 hectares of vineyards, much of which is Grand Cru. The fame may go to the imposing Schlossberg GC but equal renown should be extended to the walled Clos de Capucins that surrounds the winery and the Furstentum GC, celebrated for exceptional Gewurztraminer.

Viticulture has been organic for many years but a conversion to biodynamics culminated in certification for the 2006 vintage onwards.

Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
