Domaine Weinbach® Domaine Weinbach Alsace Théo Riesling 2021 – 8266098213104

“Domaine Weinbach is arguably one of the world’s greatest wine estates. Over the years, the Faller family has produced myriad fantastic wines that are sought by wine lovers and collectors everywhere. Quality is so high across the board at Weinbach that it is hard to choose a single “best” wine as the subject of a vertical tasting.” Ian D’Agata, Vinous
 
As per all Weinbach dry Rieslings, this was whole-bunch pressed, fermented without any yeast additions and matured in very old oak casks for 10 months. It’s beautifully ripe yet crisp, with flawless clarity and vibrating citric freshness. Expect waves of crunchy citrus pith, florals and stone-fruit juiciness, excellent pulp and precision and driven compact length. Finishing on a mineral/umami note, this is a brilliant Riesling—arguably the most electric young Théo Riesling we have seen for some time. All class.
 
“Delightful nose of pink grapefruit, passion fruit and exotic flowers. Very cool and elegant in spite of the ample ripeness, with a compact core of fine tannins and minerality. Silky acidity at the finish pulls you back for more.” 93 points – James Suckling
