Crafted by Maison Trimbach, a family-owned winery founded in 1626 in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, France, the 2023 Riesling Alsace is a pure Riesling sourced from a blend of estate vineyards across multiple villages, including grand cru sites, on diverse soils ranging from granite to limestone and volcanic sediment at elevations of 200-400 meters. Hand-harvested grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, with no oak aging and minimal intervention to highlight the grape’s varietal purity. This approach, rooted in sustainable practices and the expertise of 13 generations, captures the 2023 vintage’s vibrant acidity and fruit clarity, resulting in a bone-dry wine that embodies Trimbach’s signature style of elegance, balance, and terroir-driven minerality.
Tasting Notes
This Riesling presents a pale straw hue with green tinges, offering aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, accented by hints of lime and wet stone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and vibrant, delivering flavors of crunchy apple, citrus, and subtle petrol, supported by lively acidity and a clean, minerally finish.
