2012 Great wines of Domaine Weinbach






2012 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru...$37.99
Origins: the high part of the "grand cru" Schlossberg's hill. In a tense and very pure style, the Riesling Schlossberg tastes perfect with fish on the grill, oysters and other kinds of seafood, as well as with the traditional alsacian choucroute.

Features seamlessly integrated acidity and a fine mesh to the texture, allowing the smoke- and stone-tinged minerality to shine through. This elegant, mouthwatering Riesling is layered with green melon, apricot, salted almond, apple blossom and lemon wax flavors. Drink now through 2025. 180 cases imported. –AN
Rated 92/100 The Wine Spectator

2012 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Cuvee Theo...$33.99
The Domaine's Riesling wines have a fine and delicate fruitiness, they are racy, nervy, dry but at the same time they are mature and long on the palate. Riesling is such a prestigious grape variety that it is considered as the king of Alsace wines. It holds a special place in our vineyards and in our hearts.
"Lithe and lively, featuring bright tangerine, passion fruit, stone and melon flavors. Delivers a mouthwatering finish, with floral and spice notes. Drink now. 250 cases imported" -- The Wine Spectator

2012 Domaine Weinbach Gewurztraminer Cuvee Theo...$36.99
Overtly aromatic, with Gewürztraminer's textbook rose petal, lychee and ground spice notes. The refined acidity and texture impart a sense of overall finesse, while the palate delivers flavors of poached quince, smoky mineral and crystallized honey. Drink now through 2020. 180 cases imported. –AN
Rated 90/100 The Wine Spectator
