TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

This wine was created in honor of Trimbach’s talented winegrowers who have been partners with Trimbach for decades and with whom they share the same passion. The wine comes from an extraordinary mosaic of Alsace terroirs. From north to south, these grand terroirs lieu-dits sparkled in 2016. A mild winter was followed by abundant rain in the spring, which replenished water reserves. A hot and sunny summer with peak temperatures at the end of August allowed for full maturity and led to sunny conditions during harvest.

WINEMAKING

Grapes are harvested at maturity then crushed and delicately pressed in a pneumatic press. Vinified in a dry style in stainless steel vats and old casks. No malolactic fermentation, or long ageing on lees to preserve freshness, liveliness and fruity aromas. Bottled in the spring 2017. The wine was released four years after the harvest and already expresses superb development with ageing potential between 10-12 years.

TASTING NOTES

A beautiful golden color with green reflections. The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of ripe white fruit and floral scents. A dry-style Riesling with crystalline acidity which provides precision combined with superb length. This gastronomic Riesling is ideal as an aperitif or with grilled fish, shellfish in butter or roasted white meats in sauce as well as traditional French dishes or spicy cuisines.
