Pierre Weber, L Blanc 2023 Natural Cabernet isn't our usual thing

Cabernet isn't our usual thing so when we get one on the shelves it must be pretty good

first made in 2020 but in tiny

florals and herbal spice

Soils here give the Salicornio range a definite saline edge

Pierre Weber, L Blanc 2023 Natural Cabernet isn't our usual thingPlace: Alsace, France Grape: Riesling Vibe: Smoking hot A short soak on the skins helps coax out the aromatics before pressing off to rest in barrel on full lees. My new reference point for Alsatian Riesling. Texture but little weight, taut and mineral. Dry and diesel led from the warm vintage. All that energy coiled up waiting to unfurl. Going to age like a dream, don't think I'll be able to keep my hands off. ABV: 13%
