2020 Domain Weinbach "MVO Maceration Vogelgarten" Alsace White Blend

Domaine Weinbach is an icon of Alsace, and they are leading the charge in experimenting with minimal intervention style wines and orange wines. Alsatian grapes are perfect for orange wine styles behave they have a high level of phenolics and aromatics that blossoms with a bit of skin maceration. The blend is mostly Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer, giving the resulting wine beautiful notes of grapefruit, rose water, underripe nectarine, and orange marmalade.  92 Points from Anne Krebiehl of Vinous: 'This shimmers in a most alluring pink and amber color. It comes with an enticing aroma of rose and sun-warmed peach, almost bottled peach. The palate has a tannic edge, more of that welcome apple pip bitterness, and real body. Fruit and aroma, rose and peach, seem to complete each other, while the tannic structure supports the delicate freshness. The finish is completely dry. The purity is astonishing."
