Description
Weinbach Riesling Cuvee Colette 75cl, 13.5% is a dry Alsace Riesling from Domaine Weinbach, one of the leading estates in the region. Reviewed merchant and importer references identify Cuvée Colette as a Riesling from old vines near the foot of the Grand Cru Schlossberg, grown in Alsace and bottled in 75cl format. The same reviewed references also show the wine at 13.5% ABV for the matching bottling style.
What makes this bottle especially attractive is that it sits above routine entry-level Alsace Riesling and moves into a more serious, terroir-led style. Reviewed tasting and trade notes describe a wine with citrus zest, white stone fruit, tropical fruit touches, salinity, and a finely structured mineral finish, while additional merchant references point to old vines, biodynamic farming, and élevage in old oak or foudres depending on vintage. It looks especially suited to buyers who want a Riesling with both immediate precision and the structure to develop further in bottle. The final sentence is an inference based on the reviewed tasting descriptions and vineyard positioning.

Collector’s Note
This is not a rarity-led collector wine in the scarcity-driven sense, but it has strong appeal as a serious domaine Riesling with terroir reputation and cellar potential. It is better viewed as a drinker’s and enthusiast’s bottle rather than a mass-market white, with much of its appeal coming from the Weinbach name, the old-vine Schlossberg-adjacent fruit, and the wine’s precise mineral style. This is an inference based on the reviewed vineyard positioning, biodynamic farming references, and ageing comments.
