Pinot Gris Clos Des Capucins Weinbach, 2023

The Pinot Gris Clos des Capucins 2023 from Domaine Weinbach is a classic Alsace white with depth, finesse, and unmistakable precision. Sourced from one of the estate’s most emblematic vineyard sites, it combines ripe Pinot Gris character with the mineral clarity and elegance that have made Weinbach one of the region’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Gris typically shows a luminous golden-straw color with a polished, inviting sheen. The nose is expressive and layered, offering notes of ripe pear, yellow peach, quince, gentle spice, and a subtle smoky-mineral edge that reflects its origin. On the palate, it is supple yet well-defined, balancing generosity with freshness. Expect a textured mouthfeel, soft stone fruit, hints of honeyed citrus, and a refined saline finish that keeps the wine vibrant. While already appealing in youth, it should also reward a few years of cellaring, gaining additional complexity and roundness over time.

Production
Clos des Capucins is a historic vineyard surrounding the former Capuchin monastery in Kaysersberg, a site closely associated with Domaine Weinbach’s identity. The vineyard benefits from Alsace’s sheltered, semi-continental climate and the estate’s emphasis on healthy, carefully tended fruit. Vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving purity, texture, and terroir expression, resulting in a wine that feels both precise and deeply rooted in place.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Gris works beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy mushroom dishes, terrines, rich fish, and Alsace-style cuisine such as tarte flambée or choucroute garnie. It also pairs well with mildly spiced Asian dishes and hard cheeses. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you want to open it up for early drinking.
