A monumental sweet wine from Alsace that impressively demonstrates why Domaine Weinbach is one of the region's absolute elite. This S\u00e9lection de Grains Nobles, made from noble rot Pinot Gris grapes from the legendary Altenbourg vineyard, is at the peak of its expressiveness after more than two decades - and yet still surprisingly youthful.<\/p>\n
Intense golden yellow with delicate amber-coloured reflections that herald the advanced maturity and concentration of this noble sweet elixir.<\/p>\n
The true class of this wine is revealed here: despite its age, the bouquet is surprisingly fresh. Lively notes of fresh oranges<\/strong> and Citrus<\/strong> meet Apricots<\/strong> - both fresh and dried. Ginger<\/strong> brings spicy accents, while Gorse<\/strong>, Blossom honey<\/strong>, Cinnamon<\/strong> and Elderflowers<\/strong> provide aromatic complexity. There are also nuances of Pear<\/strong> and Quince<\/strong>. An animating, multi-layered interplay of flavours that invites you to immerse yourself.<\/p>\n What the nose promises, the palate fulfils - and even surpasses it. The multi-faceted, intense sweetness is brilliantly countered by a racy acidity that gives the wine structure and tension. The salty minerality of the Altenbourg terroir stimulates salivation and prevents any heaviness. A concentrated, complex sweet wine monument with impressive balance and enormous ageing potential.<\/p>\n The Pinot Gris was grown on the Altenbourg, a vineyard with limestone and sedimentary rock that offers ideal conditions for the slow ripening of noble rot grapes. With only 10.5% alcohol, the wine remains elegant and easy to drink despite being extremely sweet.<\/p>\n Classic for Goose liver terrine<\/strong>, harmonises perfectly with matured goat's cheese<\/strong>, goes wonderfully with Panacotta<\/strong> or can be enjoyed on its own as a meditative dessert.<\/p>\n A prime example of the longevity of Alsatian S\u00e9lection de Grains Nobles. Domaine Weinbach proves that great sweet wines not only last for decades, but can also gain finesse in the process.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palate<\/h3>\n
