Even Weinbach’s simplest Rieslings are full of intense flavors. This wine is floral, with flavors of white fruits along with a racy, crisp acidity. It is complex, concentrated but essentially dry.

That Laurence Faller is able to conjure wonders from her family’s great estate is an incontrovertible fact. But if further proof were needed, here it is in the shape of a fabulous Riesling from a small parcel of vines. It has enormous fruit, which is so pure, so steely and rich at the same time. It has hedgerow fruits, packing in behind finesse and elegance, with just the right touch of acidity. Give it 10 years at least.

This wine pairs exceptionally with the Cuvée Ste Catherine L'Inédit. While that wine is at the top of Alsace Rieslings, this is not far behind. It is fatter, less austere, which means it will develop more quickly. But it still has a great pure streak of steely acidity, fresh apples and a fine, citric and tannic structure. It is, simply, pure Riesling.

Smells like it could be sweet, with its scents of honey, apple and bergamot, but it tastes dry. Flavors of pear and citrus flow easily across the richly textured palate, ending on a stony, minerally note that’s layered with dried spices. Imported by Vineyard Brands.

A late-harvest wine, with bold aromas and flavors of dried apricots, candied pineapple and honey. Sweet and low in acidity, this is high on the unctuousity meter, finishing long and sticky. Imported by Vineyard Brands.

Rich and sweet wine in character with a Vendange Tardive. It is gorgeous and opulent, while balanced and elegant. The acidity is in wonderful contrast to the smoky honey and orange zest flavors. A hint of bitterness suggests, for sure, that this wine will be even more wonderful when aged.
