Tasting note
Grand Cru Brand Riesling is crystal clear on the nose, with citrus and exotic aromas. In the mouthful, it is generous, concentrated, full bodied but with a beautiful tension. The granit terroir imparts a focused and dry style, but also precise and a wonderful salinity at the end.
In the press
95+/100 - Trimbach's 2021 Riesling Grand Cru Brand opens with a clear and elegant, very seductive but coolish and refined bouquet of ripe fruits with finely flinty, weathered granite notes. Round and lush on the remarkably fine and elegant palate, with rather smooth acidity but also intense and persistent minerality and fine tannin structure for 2021, this is a quite open and charming 2021 ... that already tastes beautifully but can be kept for at least 25 years. Drink 2025-2055.
Viticulture
Brand in Turckheim is one of the most reputable Grand Cru's of Alsace. It is establised on 58ha and exposed south/south-east. It is a warm terroir (Brand is literally translated as "fire"). Formed of two micas granit. Our parcel of close to 1ha is 100% planted in Riesling. Vines are around 65 years old on average.
Vinification
Our 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 malotactic, or long ageing on lees in order to preserve freshness, liveliness and fruity aromas. Bottled in the spring following the harvests, then 3 years of ageing minimum in our cellar.
Food Match
Fresh water fish, cooked, marinated, in creamy sauce, poultry, goat and hard cheeses, also smoked fish, eel and some japanese sushi will pair beautifully with this wine.
