Trimbach Riesling Clos Ste. Hune Alsace 2017
From Maison Trimbach in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, the Clos Ste. Hune 2017 is a refined Riesling from a 1.67-hectare plot in the Rosacker Grand Cru, Hunawihr. Sourced from 50–70-year-old vines on Muschelkalk limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested from organic vineyards and fermented in stainless steel, offering a straw-green hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant, elegant white with mineral and citrus finesse, showcasing Alsace’s terroir.
The nose reveals white peach, quince, and green pear, with hints of lime, candied ginger, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and bone dry, with piercing acidity, a suave texture, and flavors of lemon, tropical fruit, and a long, saline finish.
