Founded in 1612 by Capuchin monks, this highly renowned Alsace estate was acquired by the Faller brothers in 1898. Domaine Weinbach is a "women's" domaine de. Indeed, from 1979 onwards, the estate was taken over by Colette Faller and her two daughters Catherine and Laurence. Since 2015, and following the passing of Laurence Faller, Catherine and her son Théo have been at the helm of the family estate. Domaine Weinbach spans around thirty hectares of vineyards.
Of the planted surface area, approximately 28 hectares are planted with white grape varieties (48% Riesling, 25% Gewurztraminer, 13% Alsace Pinot Gris, 7% Pinot Blanc, 3% Muscat à Petits Grains Blancs, and 4% Sylvaner). Just over one hectare is planted with a red grape variety (100% Pinot Noir). The vines are on average around thirty years old. Vine cultivation is carefully managed and respectful of the environment. The grapes are harvested by hand. Since 1990, Domaine Weinbach has been certified in organic farming. Vine work is therefore carried out without herbicides, fertilizers, or chemical treatments and insecticides. Since 1998 Domaine Weinbach has also practised biodynamic farming, without certification. The vineyard is located on magnificent terroirs such as the Clos des Capucins, the Altenbourg and the grand crus Schlossberg, Furstentum, Mambourg and Marckrain. Domaine Weinbach produces approximately 130,000 bottles per year. Among the estate's wines, the Alsace Pinot Noir W cuvée expresses beautiful stone fruit aromas. The Pinot Gris Altenbourg cuvée offers toasted notes. The Alsace Gewurztraminer SGN cuvée boasts a beautiful aromatic complexity. The Altenbourg Quintessence de Grains Nobles cuvée is an extremely rare, intense and well-balanced cuvée. Finally, the Alsace Grand Cru Riesling Schlossberg Clos des Capucins Cuvée Sainte Catherine, with its notes of candied lemon and a beautiful lingering finish, has excellent ageing potential.
