Riesling Selection de Vieilles Vignes
2017
Depuis près de quatre siècles, la famille Trimbach assure la promotion de l’Alsace, de son histoire, de ses terroirs exceptionnels et de ses grands vins. La Maison Trimbach est toujours située à Ribeauvillé et appartient aux deux petits-fils de Frédéric Théodore, Bernard et Hubert.

Clearly, this is more penetrating and has stronger, more intense flavors than the Riesling Réserve. Not made every year but only in exceptional ones, for “… the key when making this wine is not to impoverish our Riesling Réserve by diverting grapes to yet another wine. In 2015, we could do that without worries,” said the Trimbachs almost in unison. Very classy wine from grapes grown mainly on the marly calcaire soils of the Hagueneau; this will last, but is deceptively easy to drink now.
