About Trimbach 2020 Riesling Reserve, Alsace
Since 1626, the Trimbach family has been promoting and producing fine wines of Alsace. They have been celebrated over the centuries with countless accolades, setting a true gold standard. Maison Trimbach is located in Ribeauvillé, where today three generations work closely together. 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 from heavy rains. 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”.
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.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 2020 94 points saying "This wine has intense, savory petrol aromas that are pleasantly gritty and backed by a subtle hint of talc. It’s quite savory and acidic on the palate, a mix of slate, fresh chives and lemon juice that’s delicious. The long finish is reminiscent of sour apple. Serve this with a cheeseboard as both accent and palate cleanser."
James Suckling scored this 94 points saying "Super-ripe lemon, fresh pineapple and herb aromas pour from the glass of this medium-bodied, concentrated and sophisticated dry riesling. Completely dry, with excellent balance at the long, very clean finish. 100% estate fruit from Ribeauvillé and Bergheim."
