From the older vines in their Clos, the Fallers’ 2007 Gewurztraminer Cuvee Theo smells of classic litchi, rose petal, and brown spices, along with caramelized peach and yellow plum as well as musky, carnal, and peony notes. A brine-like salinity and alkalinity as well as primary fresh fruit sap serve for invigoration, while subtle sweetness underscores the wine’s creamy richness and liquid floral perfume. A hint of heat is all that stands in the way of even greater finishing satisfaction, but I would expect this to serve admirably over at least the next 7-9 years in contexts where some sweetness is welcome. This year, Domaine Weinbach will receive its official certification as organic and biodynamic growers. The Fallers did well in the difficult 2006 vintage – especially with those Gewurztraminer harvested before botrytis gained the upper hand – and with good reason expressed elation over the vibrancy and refinement that characterizes most of 2007s.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
