Domaine Weinbach is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Alsace, France. The estate has a 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.

Their Riesling is a standout wine, known for its elegance and complexity. The grapes are grown on steep slopes with a mix of granite and limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The Cuvée Theo is a special bottling named after the founder of the estate, Theo Faller. It is made from a selection of the best grapes from the estate's oldest vines and is aged in oak barrels for added complexity.

The style of production at Domaine Weinbach is focused on minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to shine through in each wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, and the winery uses natural yeasts for fermentation. The wines are aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, depending on the style of wine.

In addition to their Riesling, Domaine Weinbach produces a range of other wines, including Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. Each wine is a reflection of the unique terroir of Alsace and the skill of the winemakers at Domaine Weinbach.

Overall, Domaine Weinbach is a producer that is highly regarded in the wine world for their exceptional wines and commitment to quality. Their Riesling Cuvée Theo is a standout wine that showcases the best of what Alsace has to offer.

Cathy Faller oversees winemaking at this famously female-led house in Alsace, Cathy, her sister, and mother having taken over when their father Théo died in 1979. Farming organically, they use only estate fruit from vineyards that include top Grand Crus. This is a discreet and yet powerful wine, the nose showing yellow plum and a little confit lemon, even a touch of butteriness before the palate opens just enough to show an expansive sweet fruit profile (with a little residual sugar). It has a limpid texture and a finish where the acid gently insists rather than dominating.
From the clos, the 2019 Riesling Cuvée Théo is very clear and elegant on the pure but aromatic and even slightly flinty nose that exhibits ripe and intense Riesling fruit. Lush and salty-piquant on the palate, this is a round, fresh and pure, crystalline Riesling with remarkable intensity and hidden power and a finely bitter and saline finish. Still young, this 2019 will refine with bottle age.

Domaine Weinbach is situated at the foot of the Schlossberg hill in Alsace and is named after a small stream, ‘Wine Brook’, that runs through the Estate. Founded in 1612 by Capuchin monks and then taken over by the Faller brothers in 1898, it is now in the hands of Catherine Faller and her son Théo who produce some of the country’s finest wines.

I visit a lot of wine estates, but this is one visit I will remember for a long time. Weinbach, based in Kientzheim, is one of the star domaines of Alsace.Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com

Domaine Weinbach farms biodynamically and hand harvest all of the crop with a view to quality over quantity. Each vineyard has its own specific terroir, which along with the other unique characteristics of grape and vintage, shimmer through these elegant and sophisticated wines thanks to their ageing in large old oak foudres.

Catherine and Théo grow a variety of grapes within the estate - Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner - but it is Riesling that is the king of Alsace wine and at the hearts of the Faller family. The Domaine owns 8 hectares of Riesling vineyards and they were among the first in Alsace to receive Grand Cru status in 1975.

On a base of granite rocks, the soils are brown, slightly acidic, and pebbly. The Schlossberg’s steep, south-facing slopes ensure exposure to optimal sunshine. The soils are very well drained and warm up very rapidly producing delicate fruit with a bouquet of great finesse.

I have already nailed my colours to the mast by listing Domaine Weinbach in my 100 Most Iconic Wine Estates book. I am always absolutely mesmerised by the thrilling wines from this Domaine.” Matthew Jukes

Das Elsass ist eine Region im Nordosten Frankreichs, die für die Herstellung einiger der besten Weißweine der Welt bekannt ist. Die Region kann auf eine lange Geschichte des Weinbaus zurückblicken, die bis in die Zeit der Römer zurückreicht. Die Weine aus dem Elsass werden aus einer Vielzahl von Rebsorten hergestellt, darunter Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris und Muskateller.

Der Produktionsstil im Elsass ist einzigartig, denn die Weine werden im trockenen Stil mit wenig bis gar keinem Restzucker hergestellt. Dadurch kommen die natürlichen Aromen der Trauben voll zur Geltung und die Weine sind knackig, erfrischend und charaktervoll.

Die Region ist auch für ihre Schaumweine bekannt, die nach der traditionellen Methode hergestellt werden, ähnlich wie in der Champagne. Diese Weine werden aus einer Mischung von Trauben, darunter Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris und Chardonnay, hergestellt und mehrere Jahre lang gelagert, bevor sie auf den Markt kommen.

Insgesamt sind die Weine des Elsass bei Weinliebhabern in aller Welt sehr begehrt und für ihre außergewöhnliche Qualität und ihren einzigartigen Charakter bekannt. Ob Sie nun ein Fan von trockenen Weißweinen oder Schaumweinen sind, das Elsass hat für jeden Gaumen etwas zu bieten.
