Weinbach, Les Vignes du Precheur 2020	91 James Suckling The nose of candied lemon peel and honeycomb leads you into the creamy, medium bodied palate where a discreet touch of tannin gives structure. Quite a complex finish with plenty of bergamot character and modest acidity. Drink now. 90 Wine Spectator This creamy white is lightly fleshy, with softly juicy acidity providing a lively, balanced frame for flavors of Gala apple, honeysuckle, blood orange and Marcona almond. Lightly spiced finish. Riesling, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Muscat and Sylvaner. Drink now. 1,100 cases made, 350 cases imported.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Weinbach, Les Vignes du Precheur 2021	92 James Suckling A very charming wine with slightly exotic fruit salad of aromas with plenty of tangerine. Juicy with a very appealing balance of medium body and moderate acidity. Then comes the supple finish that’s supported by fine tannins. A co-ferment based on riesling with auxerrois, pinot gris, muscat and sylavner. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
