Tasting note
Intense Riesling Grand Cru, Alsace's finest. Age-worthy. Concentrated, superbly-situated. Youthful honeysuckle, peach evolve to beeswax, truffle, honey, crushed rock. Maintains freshness, vibrancy. Awesome wine.
In the press
95/100 - The 2018 Geisberg Riesling is deep, very intense and aromatic on the nose that represents the very dry and warm vintage. Full-bodied, rich and very powerful on the palate, this is a massive and muscular, luckily also saline-finishing Riesling that is still a bit edgy and will still need years to refine and gain in finesse. It is doubtlessly a complex and potential wine. Drink 2030-2060.
Vinification
On a steep,south-facing hillside, at less than nine hectares, the unique terroir of Geisberg is a jewel of Alsace, with Muschelkalk marl, conquina, sandstone and gypsum soils. Cooling winds promote extended hang time, resulting in intense, complex Riesling with fantastic ageing potential. This wine is bottle-aged at Trimbach for five years prior to release.
Food Match
Delicious with fish, poultry and veal and sea scallops. Traditionally served in Alsace with goose and pork and with Alsacian meats.
