Tasting note
Delicately delicious Grand Cru Riesling from a famous Alsace estate, juicy with white nectarines, vibrant with lemon zest and with a splash of seaspray on the finish.
In the press
96/100 - What a beautiful nose of ripe peaches, papayas, mandarin oranges and orange blossoms that is very sensuous and subtle. How can a dry riesling be so ripe and so sleek? This medium-bodied masterpiece squares that circle. Terrific energy and wet stone minerality in the super-long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release.
94/100 - The 2022 Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg is open-hearted, fragrant, aromatic and very dense on the nose that is saline and concentrated. Rich and generous on the palate, this is a full-bodied, ripe and smooth, almost sweetish yet analytically dry Schlossberg that possibly lacks a bit of finesse and acidity due to the warm and dry vintage and the poor granite soils in the highest part of the very rocky Schlossberg. Drink 2025-2050.
Viticulture
The first vintage produced is 2014. Grand Cru Schlossberg has a granitic terroir granite from Thannenkirch above Ribeauvillé and granite migmatite from Kaysersberg. Planted in horizontal terrasses, south facing, located next to the castle, just under the forest, the vineyard benefits from a cooler microclimate.
Vinification
From granite soil on the upper part of the Schlossberg Grand Cru The wine is not oak-aged, and is bottled early to preserve freshness, however, the wine is matured at Trimbach for several years, meaning that it can be enjoyed upon release or cellared for longer.
Food Match
Enjoy with pork in sauce to reveal the elegant aromas of the granitic terroir. Pork marinated with coconut milk or in plum and caramel sauce. Also best paired with veal with honey and citrus to reveal the spice aromas or as a dessert.
