Domaine Paul Kubler is located in Alsace. The family interest in viticulture dates back to 1620. Today the winery produces still and late harvest wines. Wine production includes: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer,  Pinot Noir and Sylvaner.

We were fortunate to receive a sample box of five Domaine Paul Kubler wines. This was part of the Hopwine Fair that took place in April 2021 online. Each sample was 20 ml, enough for a tasting.

The 2019 Les Panetiers, AOC Alsace, was made from Pinot Blanc grapes. The 12.5% alcohol wine had a yellow color with gold hue. The aroma reminded us of a tropical fruit salad. The taste included nectarine, melon, citrus and a hint of pineapple. The finish was very crisp with lingering fruit. Pair the wine with vegetables including asparagus and fish dishes.

The 2017 Les Combes, AOC Alsace, was made from Pinot Gris. This 14% alcohol wine had a light yellow color. The aroma offered yellow stone fruits. On the taste there was peaches, apricots and grapefruit. The finish was very crisp and fruity. We would enjoy this wine as an aperitif or paired with chicken dishes especially with mushrooms.

The 2017 Les Pierriers, AOC Alsace was crafted with Riesling grapes. At 13% alcohol the wine had a yellow color. Yellow stone fruit was on the aroma while the taste had notes of white peach and white grapefruit. The finish was crisp and refreshing. The wine had a long fruity aftertaste. In addition to an aperitif, pair the wine with a rocking chair on a porch during a hot summer day.

The 2017 Breitenberg Riesling, AOC Alsace had 13% alcohol. The light yellow colored wine’s aroma was citrus forward. The taste included lemons, limes, minerals and a hint of salt. The finish was crisp. Pair the wine with fish dishes.

The 2019 Weingarten Pinot Noir, AOC Alsace had a translucent dark ruby color with purple hue. The 14% alcohol wine had red fruits and spices on the aroma. The taste offered cherries, baking spices and a mineral undertone. The medium full-bodied wine had medium silky tannins. The finish was crisp with a blend of fruit and spice. This Pinot Noir can pair with beef dishes.
