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.

Bright golden-yellow. Fabulous high-toned aromas of apricot, quince, mango and honey, complicated by notes of cinnamon and orange liqueur. Wonderfully glyceral yet tangy on the palate, with a chewy quality and good acid thrust to the creamy, honeyed flavors of ripe tropical fruits and lemon curd. Outstanding might not be a strong enough word to describe this extremely well balanced sweet wine. Check out these numbers: 186 g/l residual sugar and 8 g/l total acidity, with a moderate 3.55 pH.
