2022 Weinbach Grand Cru Schlossberg Cuvee Sainte Catherine Riesling

The 2022 Cuvée Sainte Catherine Riesling from Domaine Weinbach is a shining example of Alsace’s finest, with a remarkable 100 points from JamesSuckling.com no less.

Sourced from the historic Schlossberg Grand Cru, where 60-year-old vines grow on mineral-rich granitic soils, this biodynamic wine captures the precision and intensity that this vineyard is known for.

This dry Riesling bursts with aromas of lemons, tropical fruits and subtle smoky notes. The palate is vibrant and fresh, with taut citrus flavours and a stony, mineral backbone. Aged for 14 months in old oak casks, it has depth and texture while maintaining its laser-like focus and purity, and is both immediately appealing and ideal for aging.

The 2022 Cuvée Sainte Catherine is a simply stunning wine from Domaine Weinbach, and a must-try for lovers of exceptional dry Riesling.

100 points
"Still extremely youthful on the nose, which is not something you expect from such a warm and dry vintage, but that is typical for the greatest 2022 wines. This astonishing dry riesling starts off very minerally, but that doesn’t prepare you for the way its stony profundity expands and expands as it climbs into the sky like a rocket ascending. And somehow, all this feels so effortless, so delicate and so breathtakingly precise."
