A welcome addition to any gathering, best served chilled as an aperitif or with a refreshing lunch. Great with quiche, onion pie, fish terrine, cheese soufflé, lightappetizers, and grilled chicken.

Cool, fresh and delicate with a very lively acidity, this delightful pinot blanc has spot-on balance. It is delicious now and will be an extremely flexible wine on the dining table. Drink now or in 2019 and 2020. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.

A subtle nose reveals only a slight lemon lift. The slender palate displays similar gentleness and subtlety. On the dry finish, the balance, harmony and concentration of lemon and white-pear flesh become apparent. It's a wonderfully subtle wine.

At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill in Alsace stands one of the finest estates in all of France. Weinbach produces richly concentrated, fragrant dry Rieslings, for which the Grand Cru Schlossberg vineyard is particularly well-situated. Ranging from the delicate Reserve Personelle, to the intense, dry Cuvée Théo, the elegant, very dry, very fine Schlossberg, the rich and fruity Cuvée Ste. Catherine, to the majestic and full-bodied Grand Cru Schlossberg Cuvée Ste. Catherine, each Riesling is distinctive. The rich, rose-scented, spicy Gewurztraminers from Domaine Weinbach are among the finest in the world. Ranging in style from the slightly sweet, rich and powerful Altenbourg Cuvée Laurence, to the stunning, full-bodied, off-dry Grand Cru Furstentum Cuvée Laurence, these are rich yet elegant wines with great aromatic complexity.
