Description
"The 2022 Riesling Cuvée Théo is picked very close to the winery in the Clos des Capucins on granitic sand. The nose is fragrant with lemon, bright, light, beautifully taut and lemony. It's juicy with the ripeness of 2022 but oh so fresh and lemony on the finish. (Bone-Dry)" - 89 points, Anne Krebiehl MW
"Biodynamic. Théo Riesling comes exclusively from the monopole Le Clos des Capucins—a vineyard that takes its name from the Capuchin friars who arrived in the area in 1619—at the base of the celebrated Schlossberg hill. The clos is well protected from winds by the surrounding hills and walls. The soils are sand, alluvial pebbles and granitic gravel. The low-cropping vines typically offer up a supple and pithy Riesling that is wonderfully accessible when young—a reflection of these sandy soils. As with all Weinbach dry Rieslings, this was pressed as whole bunches, fermented without any yeast additions, and matured in very old oak casks for, in this case, 10 months." - Importer's Notes
