F E Trimbach Riesling Grand Cru Geisberg 2018

Fresh, vibrant Alsace Riesling, ultra dry yet full of grapefruit, citrus and white peach and exhaling white flowers and lemon perfume.

The Reserve quality comes from a rigorous selection of fully ripe grapes from the Ribeauvillé and Hunawihr region. It defines a structured, balanced wine, full of fruit and finesse. This elegant, dry and precise Riesling makes a wide variety of dishes shine.

The viticultural origin of the Trimbach family dates back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach, was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From then on, the Trimbach’s were renowned for their wine-growing. Maison Trimbach’s vineyards are all situated around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the Vosges Mountains protection, which preserves the plain from the rain. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville’s fault line that fractured 50 million years ago between the Vosges Mountain range and the Black Forest offering a mosaic of terroirs including the complex calcareous limestone and bio-degraded seashell fossils called “Muschelkalk”.
