Biodynamic. The standard of Weinbach’s Pinot has gone through the roof recently. There are now five single-vineyard Pinots in the range, with the Clos des Capucins bottling slanted towards early-ish drinking. Even so, the quality is pitched towards the village-level wines of Burgundy, although stylistically, it can equally resemble the high-grown Pinots from the Jura or even the best German Pinots, as much as those of the Côte d’Or.
The old-vine fruit is destemmed and naturally fermented with 20 days on skins. It’s raised in mature Burgundy barrels for 15 months before being bottled unfiltered. Expect captivating, pure aromas and flavours of black cherry and red fruits and a vibrant, succulent palate with the sappy freshness of the vintage driving the lingering, powdery close. This is very, very good, and a unique and a terrific alternative to Burgundy.
