Map of Domaine Weinbach
Weinbach is one of the oldest wineries in Alsace, whose history dates back to the year 800!! The Faller family is one of the best producers in Alsace and belongs to a small elite, having been awarded a magical 100 points by both Robert Parker and James Suckling. All cultivation is organically certified and from 2010 all their wines are also biodynamically certified, and very few producers can match the quality Weinbach delivers.

History
Domaine Weibach is managed by Catherine Faller and her son Thèo, who is also a winemaker. The domaine is located in Kayserberg in the heart of Alsace. The property is actually a castle, which can be dated back to before the year 800! It is surrounded by an area, the Clos des Capucins, which took its name from the Capuchin monks who lived on the property until the French Revolution.

Some of the world's most intensive wines
The Weinbach wines stand in stark stylistic contrast to other wines in Alsace. Instead of focusing on power and fruity sweetness, the domaine wines are incredibly intensive and elegant. They are also extremely suitable for storage and with age they acquire distinct, mineral-like flavours. The land holdings are simply sublime: Schlossberg (8 acres!), Furstentum and Mambourg are all three Grand Cru areas. The last two areas, Clos des Capucins and Altenbourg, are not Grand Cru classified, but experts agree they should be!

Sustainability
Domaine Weinbach's vineyards have been organically certified for many years and since 2010 all wines are also biodynamically certified.
