Winery Notes:
A wine of elegant vivacity, its aromas of citrus fruits and white flowers translate into fruitiness and fullness on the palate. It is crisp and seductive, the very definition of Riesling from Alsace, firmly anchored in the Trimbach style: dry, pure and balanced. The finish is sapid and underlined by a beautiful salinity whetting the appetite.

Already on the nose this has a terrific interplay of stone fruit and herbal freshness with a tantalizing touch of spices. You feel the power and concentration of Alsace dry riesling from a warm, dry vintage, but also a wonderful citrusy freshness. A delicate chalky minerality echoes through the very long finish. 100% from estate vineyards in Ribeauville and Bergheim. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Riesling Réserve is from top vineyards in Ribeauvillé and Bergheim that haven't been sourced for the grands crus but are partly seriously old. Bottled in April 2023 and already released, the wine displays a clear and refined, intense and elegant bouquet of fully ripe and spicy fruits but also remarkably floral talents. The wine is lush and intense on the refined and elegant palate, provided with some Muscat-like aromas, ripe, saline acidity and very fine tannins. The finish is harmonious, fruit-intense and backed up by a serious mineral structure. Superb. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

The 2022 Riesling Reserve is mostly picked on limestone soils, including the Altenberg de Bergheim Grand Cru. A lovely stoniness defines the nose, with a serene chamomile and bright lemon lift. The palate adds rounded, generous, juicy Mirabelle fruit to this, edged with an ethereal herb savor, sinking into that deep, cool depth of the limestone. The 2022 is stony, bright, juicy, lip-smacking and taut. This is very Trimbach. (Bone-Dry)
