Tasting note
This is extremely appetising already, with orange, honey and some savoury herbal notes to begin with; opening to reveal spicy resinous and floral scents, and classic maturing beeswax character. In the mouth, it's dry yet full-textured, and shows greengage, honey, orange and apricot flavours, before finishing with Champagne-like green apple character.
In the press
96/100 - Extremely focused with underplayed power and concentration, this Alsace dry riesling masterpiece is still very youthful, but already shows a slew of Amalfi lemon, wild herb and spicy aromas. Extremely focused, sleek palate. Super-long finish with incredible crushed rock intensity. From 1.6 hectares of terraced vines in this famous site with ancient granite soil. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release.
93?/100 - From granite de Tannenkirch soils, the 2021 Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg is from a 1.6-hectare plot on horizontal terraces in the highest altitude of the Schlossberg. The 2021 opens with a clear and quite intense, warm and concentrated nose of fully ripe and fleshy yet less juicy fruits whose flavors intermingle with herbal and rocky notes. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a refined and persistently saline, very long yet certainly not powerful and possibly also less complex and textural Riesling compared to the other Trimbach grands crus. Drink 2028-2045
Vinification
