Domaine Weinbach Riesling Clos des Capucins Cuvee Theo 2021

Clos des Capucins is a highly respected vineyard site in Alsace, with a long and distinguished history. The vineyard is a monopole of Domaine Weinbach, established in 1612 by the Capucin monks who built the clos. The Weinbach title was chosen for its symbolism, meaning "The Stream of Wine", a reference to the brook flowing through the estate en route from the lower Vosges mountain range to the Rhine river.

Riesling has also been stereotyped as just a sweet grape, used only to make sticky wines. But while botrytized Rieslings are among the finest sweet wines in the world, the majority of global Riesling wines are either dry or off-dry.

Young dry Rieslings tend to be very light in color, sometimes pushing into light gold hints, depending on the region and winemaking. Sweeter styles tend to be considerably more yellow/golden in hue.
