At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill, surrounded by vines and roses, lies Domaine Weinbach. Named after the little stream that runs through the property, it has been planted with vines since the 18th century, with the winery itself having been established in 1612 by Capuchin friars. These vineyards, to this day surrounded by ancient walls, are specifically named Clos des Capucins. In addition to this, the estate’s history is well documented through the image of a monk which fittingly adorns their labels. After being sold as national property during the French Revolution, it was acquired by the Faller brothers in 1898 who then left it to their son and nephew, Théo. Théo Faller was a prominent figure in Alsace winegrowing and an ardent defender of quality wine production. He developed, expanded and enhanced Domaine Weinbach. In 1979, Colette -Théo’s wife-, Catherine, Laurence Faller and their team pursued the family’s passion for the great wines of Alsace and its unrelenting commitment to delivering excellence. In 1998, Domaine Weinbach began working in accordance with the principles of biodynamics on a total of 8 hectares. Since 2005, all the vineyards (28 hectares) have been worked according to biodynamic. Since 2016, Catherine has led the estate winery with her sons, Eddy and Théo.
