Domaine Weinbach (in the Alsace) produces a variety of wines from a fairly wide variety of grapes – the Alsatian way. This cuvée is made from Pinot Gris grapes picked in overmaturity, lending borderline sweetness and intensity. Strong colour, and a very intense, smoky, Riesling-like bouquet of honeysuckle and peach. On the palate, enough sugar to hint at dessert. Fine, and powerful, if a bit of a conundrum for food; not actually heavy enough for pudding, it would kill most savoury dishes.
