Delightfully firm with so much personality and the sensation that you are licking stones in the vineyard! So firm, so pungent, yet so fruity. Gorgeous wine, essence of Riesling and already approachable. Steely finish suggests a long life ahead. Bone dry and very long. 

 

97 points, James Suckling

This smells like a whole room filled with fresh and dried flowers. Then, as it unfolds in the glass, wild-herb and dried citrus-zest aromas unfurl. In spite of the generous ripeness, this is tremendously elegant and focused, with a ton of crushed-stone minerality. So crystalline at the very fine and delicate finish. And the saline character adds yet another dimension to this extremely complex picture. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Gewürztraminer

17/20 Points, Jancis Robinson

Seductive, pungent, rich nose suggestive of both cream and lychees. Luscious mid palate but finishes dry. Surprisingly appetising and contained – and characteristically varietal. Satin-smooth on the palate and, I would imagine, very versatile at the table.

 

Short-pruned 40-50 year old vines from the "Wolfreben" lieu-dit in the Kaysersberg valley between the Clos des Capucins and the village of Kaysersberg. The soil is sand-silt on granite pebbles. The grapes growing on this terroir ripen early and produce wines with powerful concentration. Aged in large, old oak vats for 8–10 months.

Winemaker Catherine Fuller is a master of biodynamics, growing her vines sustainably and gracefully to produce wines of prestige and elegance. Domaine Weinbach's "RB0" (Riesling de la Butte de Calvaire) represents one of the estate's forays into crafting natural wines with zero alterations, preservatives or additions in the winery.

Like the other wines in the '0' series, this drop is made from grapes grown in vineyards more recently acquired by the estate and in conversion to biodynamics. This particular parcel is located on the southern tip of the famed Mamburg Grand Cru site, producing outstanding fruit.

Seducing floral nose with touches of grapefruit and roses. Offers a firm yet gentle mouth feel, generously medium-bodied, built on the backbone of a mild acidity and soft tannins. Ending on a persistent and pleasant bitterness.

Vogelgarten (the “birds’ garden”): marl and limestone, south-east facing soil located between Grand Cru Furstentum and Grand Cru Mambourg. The steep slope optimises exposure to the sun. It produces opulent Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris with great aromatic complexity, elegant structure and good ageing potential.
