Gewurztraminer Altenbourg Clos des Capucins - Domaine Weinbach - Alsace - 2013

Domaine Weinbach was founded by the Capucin monks in 1612. The main house is still surrounded by the original 9th Century monastic vineyard, the Clos du Capucin and all of the estate’s wines are still labelled with this name. In 1898 the estate was purchased by the Faller family in which hands it still remains. The vineyards are farmed organically and only estate grown fruit are used in order to have total control over the quality. The wines are complex, sophisticated and shows excellent depth and typicity. A real gem of Alsace!
