2019 Domaine Weinbach, Riesling

Domaine Weinbach is located in Kaysersberg, Alsace, at an estate originally established in 1612 by Capuchin monks and managed by the Faller family since 1898. The vines are grown in the region's characteristic soils, which include granite and limestone, and have been farmed according to biodynamic practices since 2005 to ensure soil health. In the glass, this wine shows crisp apple and citrus notes with a distinct mineral backbone and a textured, balanced mouthfeel. The 2019 vintage provided a long, slow growing season with a warm summer and a cool, dry September, resulting in fruit with clear definition and precise acidity. This wine is ready to enjoy now but possesses the structure to evolve further in the cellar.
