Tasting note
Fragrant with lychees, beeswax and chamomile, with ripe lemons and tropical fruit in the mouth, along with a furl of smoke.
Viticulture
Trimbach, a wine legacy since 1626. Their vineyards, nestled in Ribeauville, enjoy an Alsatian microclimate thanks to the Vosges Mountains. Planted on a 50-million-year-old fault line, they offer diverse terroirs with calcareous limestone and seashell fossils. Trimbach Réserves, selected from old vineyards, promise complex, age-worthy wines.
Vinification
Rigourous selection from select old vines in calcareous clay soils on only the best years. Yhis luscious, spicy wine matures for complexity. Harvested by hand, directly fermented in steel, bottled early without malolactic fermentation.
Food Match
Excellent as an aperitif, this lush reserve is particularly good with highly-seasoned food, notably from Asia and the Orient. It is ideal with strong cheeses, expecially Munster.
