Eddy Leiber-Faller says that Alsace went “from record rain in 2021 to record drought in 2022.” This is especially hard in the steep, stony Schlossberg, where vines root in well-drained granite. “But luckily, on the 15th of August, we got 35mm of rain over the course of five to six hours. After that, it was still sunny but cooler, and this was providential.” The Rieslings, he notes, did not shut down completely but “slowed down,” yet they are in their muscular yet statuesque top form in 2022. In this regard, they point to the resilience of old vines. The 2021 Pinot Noirs are elegant and marked by vivid freshness. Naturally, they are not as sumptuous as the 2020s but sinuous and elegant.

2022 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru
€ 114,00 NO VAT (private collection)
The 2022 Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru blends its reductive, flinty smokiness with lemon zest on the nose. With more air, white and yellow peach start smiling through and get stronger and juicier on the palate. The pale peach juiciness appears in full purity on the palate, framed with a pleasantly astringent pithiness that makes the mouth water. More peach and fruit and fin freshness are just within reach. The finish is shorter than usual but bone-dry. This is a picture of stone. (Bone-Dry)

€ 40,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Soave Classico La Rocca seduces, flaunting its rich bouquet of confectionary spice and sweet oak before coming further into focus with baked apple and chamomile notes. This is elegance personified, opulent at first and then decidedly savory and precise, with crisp orchard fruits flowing across a saline-tinged, acidic core. The 2021 finishes with dramatic length, staining the palate in youthful concentration as zesty citrus combines with dried apricot and peach. This is an especially decedent vintage for La Rocca, yet the balance is something to behold. It was refined for one year in a mix of 2000- and 500-liter Slavonian oak barrels.

€ 27,00 NO VAT (private collection) The Sauvignon Quintessenz wafts up with a pretty bouquet of lemon zest and gooseberry complicated by hints of crushed stone. It’s silky and supple on the palate, with vibrant acidity motivating tart orchard fruits. This leaves a sour citrus tension and a saline mineral twang while finishing potent yet fresh.- By Eric Guido on December 2022

€ 99,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2018 Batàr is perfumed and gracious, with lovely orchard fruit, chamomile and floral notes that lift effortlessly from the glass. A wine of total precision and nuance, the 2018 is simply exquisite today. Stylistically it is a bit more perfumed and lighter than is the norm.
