WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Weinbach's Clos des Capucins Cuvée Sainte Catherine Riesling is a highly sought-after wine from the Alsace Grand Cru Schlossberg appellation. The vineyard is located on a steep slope with a unique terroir that imparts minerality and complexity to the wine. The winemaking process is meticulous, with hand-harvested grapes and gentle pressing to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the Riesling grape. The resulting wine is dry, with a bright acidity and a complex bouquet of citrus, stone fruit, and floral notes. This wine is a perfect example of the exceptional quality and elegance that Domaine Weinbach is known for.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This crisp and vibrant 2016 Riesling from Domaine Weinbach Clos des Capucins Cuvée Sainte Catherine Alsace Grand Cru Schlossberg is an exquisite expression of this noble grape.On the nose, an array of ripe citrus fruits, white flowers and a hint of fresh minerality come together with the slight hint of petrol. On the palate, a refreshing acidity carries flavors of ripe peach and apricot, with a slight hint of honey, leading to a balanced, lengthy finish. A beautiful expression of the terroir, this wine is a superb accompaniment to seafood dishes and Asian cuisine.

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles. Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.
