What the experts say...
"The 1999 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg Vendanges Tardives explodes from the glass with roses, lychee nuts, and spices. Full-bodied, rich, and opulent, this is a compellingly huge yet elegant offering. Its exuberant personality possesses candied berries, rose water, violets, mangoes, poached pears, and clove notes." Source R. Parker (12/2001)
This Pinot Gris comes from one of Alsace’s most impressive crus, reputed for its power. It is intensely golden in colour with an aromatic bouquet that is equally as striking. Notes of candied fruit and white flowers subtly make way for a sumptuous minerality. Its voluptuous texture promises gastronomic pairings with flavourful dishes.
One of the most beautiful properties in Alsace, the Weinbach vineyard covers just over 26 hectares. The Capuchin monks produced a wine from the early 17th century on the historic terroir of the Clos des Capucins (5 hectares enclosed by walls). Sold as a national asset in the French Revolution, the property was acquired in 1898 by the Faller brothers, who passed it on to their son and nephew, Théo. A major figure in French viticulture and an ardent defender of Alsace's vineyards, largely responsible for their being granted AOC status, Théo Faller died in 1979. His wife Colette and her daughters Catherine and Laurence took charge of the property and continued to build its reputation; it is now known all over the world. Located at the base of the majestic Schlossberg hill, it benefits from an exceptional position that has all of the geological and climate characteristics usually associated with Alsace's finest wines. The vineyard is tended with a deep respect for nature and with a view to expressing each terroir. The harvests are delayed until optimal ripeness; after rigorous selection the grapes are gently, progressively pressed, followed by long fermentations in old oak casks. The property produces successful generic cuvées, but really stands out for its grandes cuvées, named after members of the family, and associated with each terroir.
