"In 2010, a generally cool vintage, you might say that we had fall in the summer and winter in the fall," Catherine Faller told me in September."And due to berry shatter, the average yield at the domain was an extremely low 22 hectoliters per hectare, but at least those berries that were on the vine managed to reach full maturity.Had there been a large volume of grapes on the vines, the raisins would never have ripened properly otherwise." How different were 2010 and 2011?"As an example, we began harvesting on September 18 in 2011, while it was October 6 in2010."Catherine Faller describes 2011 as "a meaty vintage with fine minerality and good fruit; there's clearly less acidity than in 2010 yet the wines show very nice balance."The domain is now officially biodynamic as of the 2010 vintage.According to Catherine, the wines are currently being made by her son Theo and assistant winemaker Ghislain Berthiot, who worked for years with Catherine's sister Laurence, the longtime winemaker of the domain who is currently enjoying a leave of absence being a mother.Although the wines at Domaine Weinbach are still among the best in Alsace, Laurence Faller is one of the world's most gifted white winemakers, and my hope is that she will soon be back working with the team.
