FEATURES
🏰 The 2017 Weinbach Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru Sélection de Grains Nobles is an extraordinary, biodynamic sweet wine. Although 2017 was not a strong botrytis year for Weinbach, their SGN wines are exceptionally scarce and rich due to meticulous berry-by-berry harvesting and strict sugar level requirements. Robert Parker awarded this vintage an impressive 98 points. It opens with an intense and tropical bouquet of mango and passion fruit, along with intriguing iodine notes. The palate is very elegant and intense, offering a mouthwateringly salty and refreshing finish. Expect juicy ripe green apple and fresh citrus, with a dry, concentrated, vivid, and aromatic profile, culminating in a dramatic and lasting finish. It's dripping with flavors and aromas of orange blossom, spring flowers, and wild strawberries, showcasing an exceptional balance between alcohol, sugar, and acidity. 【 An extraordinary, biodynamic SGN Riesling with exceptional balance and critical acclaim 】
🍴 This luxurious sweet wine is a perfect partner for foie gras, blue cheeses, or fruit tarts that are not overly sweet. It also shines when enjoyed on its own as a contemplative dessert.
🥂 A truly special wine for celebratory occasions, a sophisticated aperitif, or a memorable tasting experience. Its complexity and balance ensure it will continue to evolve beautifully for many years.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Weinbach, located in Kaysersberg, is one of Alsace's most prestigious and historic estates, founded in 1612 by Capuchin monks. The Faller family has owned it since 1898. They are pioneers of biodynamic farming in the region. Schlossberg was the first vineyard in Alsace to receive Grand Cru status, renowned for its steep, terraced granite soils that perfectly suit Riesling. 'Sélection de Grains Nobles' (SGN) indicates a rare, sweet wine made from individually hand-picked grapes affected by noble rot (botrytis). This Riesling SGN is a masterpiece of concentration, offering profound notes of honey, candied citrus, and apricot, balanced by electrifying acidity.
