Domaine Weinbach is a renowned winery located in the heart of Alsace, France. The Gewurztraminer - Les Treilles du Loup is a true masterpiece of the winery, showcasing the best of the Gewurztraminer grape variety.

The wine has a beautiful golden color with hints of green. On the nose, it is intense and complex, with aromas of lychee, rose petals, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The flavors of tropical fruits, honey, and ginger are complemented by a long and elegant finish.

The Gewurztraminer grape variety is known for its aromatic intensity and complexity, and Domaine Weinbach has managed to capture its essence in this wine. The winery has a long history of producing high-quality wines, dating back to the 17th century. The estate was acquired by the Faller family in 1898, and since then, they have been dedicated to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Alsace.

The Les Treilles du Loup vineyard is located in the heart of the Kaysersberg valley, on the foothills of the Vosges mountains. The soil is composed of granite and gneiss, which gives the wine its mineral character. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected to ensure the highest quality.

This wine is perfect to enjoy with spicy Asian cuisine, such as Thai or Indian curries. It also pairs well with foie gras, blue cheese, and desserts with exotic fruits. The Gewurztraminer - Les Treilles du Loup is a wine that will impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur, and it is a true representation of the excellence of Domaine Weinbach.

Fine citrus fruits like green mandarin, kumquat, blood orange and lemon, accompanied by aromas of white tea and fresh herbal notes of lemon balm and sorrel. Floral rose and lychee in box. A viscous touch, juicy opulence with aromas of citrus, sweet oranges and clementines. Combined with fine spices of fennel pollen and pickled ginger, creamy touch and extremely juicy nature.

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
