Tasting notes

Ripe orchard fruit and honeysuckle on the nose, with a waft of ginger spice typical of Sainte Catherine. The palate is rich and off-dry, quince and baked apple carried on a waxy texture, finishing long with a saline, mineral edge.

About this wine

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.

The Pinot Gris - Cuvée Sainte Catherine is one of the winery's most popular wines. It is made from grapes grown in the Clos des Capucins vineyard, which is located on a steep slope overlooking the town of Kaysersberg. The vineyard has a unique microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors.

The wine is made using traditional methods, with the grapes being hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed. The juice is then fermented in oak barrels, which gives the wine a rich, creamy texture and a subtle hint of oak. The wine is aged for several months before being bottled, allowing it to develop its full flavor and complexity.

The Pinot Gris - Cuvée Sainte Catherine is a full-bodied wine with a rich, golden color. It has a complex aroma of ripe fruit, honey, and spice, with a hint of minerality. On the palate, the wine is rich and creamy, with flavors of ripe peach, apricot, and honey. It has a long, lingering finish with a subtle hint of oak.

This wine is perfect for pairing with rich, flavorful dishes such as foie gras, roasted pork, or spicy Asian cuisine. It is also delicious on its own as an aperitif or after-dinner drink.
