About Domaine Weinbach
Domaine Weinbach was established in 1610 by the Capuchin monks who also gave their name to the domaine's most prized vineyard, Clos des Capucins. The estate itself got the name Weinbach--which literally translates to "wine brook"--from a little stream that trickles through the property.

($44; from vines at the top of the hill) Pale, green-tinged color. Cool, restrained, rather aristocratic aromas of lime, mint and powdered stone. Juicy, pure and detailed, with dusty peach pit and mineral elements perking up the salivary glands. This very dry, long wine is almost painful today. A lovely, pure dry riesling in the making-but give it a few years in the cellar.
