History: At the foot of the majestic hill going by the name of Schlossberg, surrounded by vines and roses, lies Domaine Weinbach. Named after the little stream which runs through the property and planted with vines since the IXth century. It was established as a winery in 1612 by Capuchin friars. These vineyards, to this day surrounded by ancient walls, are specifically named Clos des Capucins. In addition to this, the estate’s history is well remembered through the image of a monk which fittingly adorns our labels. After being sold as national property during the French revolution, it was acquired by the Faller brothers in 1898 who then left it to their son and nephew, Théo. Théo Faller was a prominent figure in Alsace winegrowing and an ardent defender of quality wine production. He developed, expanded and enhanced Domaine Weinbach. In 1979, Colette Théo’s wife, Catherine, Laurence Faller and their team pursued the family’s passion for the great wines of Alsace and its unrelenting commitment to delivering excellence.

Tasting Notes:

“Exquisite ripeness and freshness are expressed on this wine’s intriguing nose, showing juicy, ripe, yellow peach which melds with boxwood and passion fruit. The palate comes in with sweetness, pushing the passion-fruit notions and redoubling on that juicy peach. Freshness comes from the ripe and fully fragrant zestiness of orange and tangerine. It’s a highly aromatic, medium-sweet wine.” – Wine Enthusiasts
