Three magnums only. Biodynamic. The 2019 purchase of six hectares once belonging to Domaine Gérard Fuchs added more Grand Cru land to Weinbach’s bow. Amongst these vines, the Faller family took control of a tiny parcel of Riesling in the Grand Cru Mambourg. A rare parcel of Riesling in a Gewürztraminer-dominated Cru, the plot is surrounded by trees in the southeastern tip of the Grand Cru Mambourg. The vineyard’s rocky soils sit on top of a calcareous bedrock. Eddy Faller notes that the wines resulting from his old, low-yielding vines combine powerful aromatic expression with generous structure: he recommends at least a few years of further cellaring. Bottled in magnum, it’s a stellar, coiled masterpiece from the  Weinbach cellar. Lovers of the Domaine’s Rieslings should move with haste.

Reviews

“This dry Alsace Riesling is full-bodied with enormous depth and structure, but also a seductively silky texture that makes it stand out from the crowd. Great spicy and candied citrus complexity in the long, bold finish. Very limited production that is mostly bottled in magnums.”
