Tasting note
Heady, fragrant Pinot Gris, dry yet packed with fruit, with a touch of smokiness on the finish.
Viticulture
Trimbach's winemaking heritage traces back to 1626. Situated around Ribeauville, their vineyards benefit from Alsatian microclimate. Planted on a fault line created 50 million years ago, they offer diverse terroirs. Trimbach Réserves, from old vineyards, promise complexity and ageing potential.
Vinification
The Reserve quality is from parcel selections of old vines around Ribeauvillé (around 35 years old) which produces a more complex wine destined for a longer laying down. After harvesting, the grapes are brought directly to the winery where they are fermented in stainless steel and bottled early without malolactic fermentation.
Food Match
The selection of very ripe grapes allows this Pinot Gris Réserve to match wonderfully with exotic, Asiatic and Japanese food. It really comes into its own with terrines, foie gras, smoked fish, fish in sauce (notably salmon) and white meats.
