2022 Riesling Cuvée Colette Domaine Weinbach

The 2022 Riesling Cuvée Colette was harvested in the deeper yet granitic soils of the lieu-dit Bonnes Terres at the foot of the Schlossberg from 50-60-year-old vines. Just a glimpse of ripe Mirabelle appears on the otherwise shy nose. The full lemon-laced juiciness of Mirabelle hits the palate, pervaded by zesty freshness and framed by a gentle citrus pith that also makes the mouth water on the dry finish. This slight phenolic structure will stand this in excellent stead. (Bone-Dry)

The very deep and refined peachy fruit is overlain with sweet floral nuances and underlined by a fascinating minerality that builds as the wine flows over the medium- to full-bodied palate. From old vines at the bottom of the Grand Cru Schlossberg site. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Riesling Colette is very pure and saline on the elegant and stunningly precise nose. Round and generous on the palate, this is a full-bodied, saline and umami-tasting Riesling with lush but elegant fruit and a salivating finish. It's a stunningly refreshing 2022. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
