Even in Alsace, with so many profoundly dedicated producers like Zind-Humbrecht and Marcel Deiss, few estates can match the history and importance of Domaine Weinbach. Founded in 1612, the estate is now run by the Faller family, whose uncompromising standards and fanatical devotion to biodynamic viticulture have made this one of Alsace’s most revered producers. The 2023 Riesling Cuvée Colette is sourced from the famed Schlossberg Grand Cru vineyard, granite soils at 300 meters elevation, with a unique microclimate that allows for slow ripening and perfect phenolic development. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in old foudres for 11 months before bottling. The result is Riesling in its most noble form—precise, mineral-driven, and built for decades of development. Why You'll Love It Perfect structure and balance: With just a brushstroke of residual sugar and incredible fruit expression, this is as good as dry Riesling from Alsace gets. Aromatic complexity: White flowers and stone fruits are arrayed with citrus zest, in a gorgeous bouquet that continues to evolve in the glass with air. Collectible: The wines from Domaine Weinbach are always in high demand, and SommSelect securing the first US allocation, this is your chance to acquire one of Alsace’s most collectible whites.
