Brand Story:
Domaine Weinbach is an icon of the Alsace wine region, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture and winemaking, and producer of some of the world's greatest aromatic wines. Located the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill, Domaine Weinbach is a “stream of wine”, named after the small brook that traverses the vineyard, it, was built in 1612 by the Capuchin monks. The estate has been in the Faller family since 1898, which produces mainly Grand Cru. The fame may go to the imposing Schlossberg GC but equal renown should be extended to the walled Clos de Capucins that surrounds the winery and the Furstentum GC, celebrated for exceptional Gewurztraminer. Viticulture has been organic for many years but a conversion to biodynamics culminated in certification for the 2006 vintage onwards.

Grape Varietal: 100% Gewurztraminer

Tasting Notes: The 2020 Gewurztraminer Cuvée Laurence is clear, bright and exotic on the nose that offers lemon chutney and spicy notes intermingled with rose petal aromas. On the palate, this is a rich and intense but fresh and tightly structured Gewurz with good tension and a saline, finely piquant and stimulating finish.
