Tasting note
This is a gloriously mature fine wine, retaining vivacious freshness and balance alongside the nuance and complexity that comes from long ageing in the Trimbach cellars. It has a restrained, precise and pure nose of rose petals, cantaloupe and fresh honeycomb. Exquisitely-balanced in the mouth, with creamy texture, ripe pear, crystallised ginger, Turkish delight, canteloupe melon, muscat grape, almond oil and a fabulously long finish.
Viticulture
Grown on vines over 50 years old in coteaux, in the Ribeauvillé locality of Trottacker with deep clay-limestone soil; in the Bergheim locality of the Gruenspiel on Keuper marls; and in Hunawihr locality of the Muehlforst with marl-limestone soil on shell limestone substrate of the Muschelkalk. Exposures South and South-East.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested at maturity then crushed and delicately pressed in a pneumatic press. Vinified in a dry style in stainless steel vats and old casks. No malolactic fermentation, or long ageing on lees in order to preserve freshness, liveliness and fruity aromas. Bottled in spring, then 2 years of ageing minimum in the cellar.
Food Match
Enjoy with goose foie gras, spicy and aromatic dishes, Asian cheeses and fresh fruit-based desserts
