Trimbach Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace 2012
From Maison Trimbach in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, the Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile 2012 is a refined white from organic vineyards on marl-calcaro-sandstone soils in the Grand Cru Geisberg and Osterberg vineyards. Crafted from 100% Riesling with 55+ year-old vines, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel vats, offering a luminous straw hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A crisp, vibrant white with intense citrus and mineral finesse, showcasing Alsace’s terroir.
The nose reveals nectarine, lemon zest, and powdered stone, with hints of white peach, mint, and licorice. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and dry, with outstanding acid-sugar balance, juicy stone fruit, and a long, saline finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like grilled fish or goat cheese salad to highlight its citrus and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 蒸鮮蝦餃, 清蒸石斑魚, 蟹鉗, 醬爆肉丁, 椒鹽九肚魚, or 豉椒炒蜆 to complement its crisp acidity and fruit notes. Ideal for seafood dinners or summer gatherings.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 8°C in a narrow glass to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2032 for added complexity. Explore our Alsace collection for more Riesling classics.
