2021 Domaine Weinbach 'MVO - Maceration Vogelgarten 0 Intrant' Orange Wine Alsace

Winemaker Notes:  Seducing floral nose with touches of grapefruit and roses. Offers a firm yet gentle mouth feel, generously medium-bodied, built on the backbone of a mild acidity and soft tannins. Ending on a persistent and pleasant bitterness. Vogelgarten (the “birds’ garden”): marl and limestone, south-east facing soil located between Grand Cru Furstentum and Grand Cru Mambourg. The steep slope optimises exposure to the sun. It produces opulent Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris with great aromatic complexity, elegant structure and good ageing potential.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "This orange wine has a fascinating nose of candied orange, bitter orange marmalade and tawny port. Stunning interplay of elegant tannins and dried-fruit aromas, the acidity just enough to keep this clean and straight"


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."
