The 2007 Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Saint Catherine l’Inedit as usual represents Domaine Weinbach’s segregation of especially ripe material, and finishes with subtle sweetness. Like its “non-l’Inedit” counterpart, it offers both honeyed richness and high glycerin with vivacity and refreshment. Luscious apple, peach, musk melon, and quince are accented by nutmeg, peach kernel piquancy, and savory salinity. This should perform well over the next 15 or more years. This year, Domaine Weinbach will receive its official certification as organic and biodynamic growers. The Fallers did well in the difficult 2006 vintage – especially with those Gewurztraminer harvested before botrytis gained the upper hand – and with good reason expressed elation over the vibrancy and refinement that characterizes most of 2007s.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
