Description:
This makes six consecutive years that a Trimbach Riesling has earned a spot in our top 100 wines in the world. (Robert Parker, 90 points.) This outstanding wine has an attractive and powerful nose, with enticing aromas of apricot, quince, and pear combined with the mineral, petrol notes of aged Riesling. Dry to the palate with a full body, rich with balancing acidity and the lingering flavours of mineral and citrus. Jane MacQuitty MW also makes mention of the 'intense, floral and lime-licked-spice of this gorgeous Riesling' in The Times.
This wine has bright-golden appearance tinged with a greenish hue. On the nose the aromas of finely developed Riesling come through complex minerals and petrol notes. In the mouth the wine has great body and structure, with ripe fruits and mineral characters. Dry with crisp, fresh acidity combined with great length, this is textbook Riesling. . (12 x 75 cl)
This wine is a beautiful, rich-golden colour. On the nose it is rich and spicy with notes of lychee and nuts. The palate is rich and full with concentrated lychee fruits and notes of apricot. This is a wine of great power, not sweet, but with enough residual sugar to make it feel really ripe in the mouth. The acidity balances the wine to give it finesse, elegance and tremendous length. The fruit for this wine is sourced from Grand Cru vineyards at Osterberg in Ribeauville and Lieu-dit-Muehlforst in Hunawihr. (12 x 75 cl)
This is a superbly balanced and refreshing wine, with a subtly ripe nose and strong accents of lychee and liquorice. Dry and full-bodied, the palate delivers delicate spice and fruit with notes of apricot and ends in a rich, long finish. The fruit for this wine is sourced from Grand Cru vineyards at Geisburg and Osterberg. (24 x 37.5 cl)
This wine is a vibrant, golden colour with a perfumed nose full of lychee, spice and geranium notes. In the palate it is rich, powerful and ripe, with intense lychee fruit and a luscious dry, spicy finish. At 12.5% alcohol but with great balance, this is a textbook example of Gewurztraminer.
