It is a wine with aromas of flowers and spices with a dry character, but rich and fruity. This great wine is only produced in the best years.
The marlo-limestone-dominant Keuper soils on which it is produced give this rare wine a wide and powerful style. From old vines of the former seigneurs de Ribeaupierre winery, the grapes are selected and harvested at high maturity.
The viticultural origin of the Trimbach family dates back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach, was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From then on, the Trimbach’s were renowned for their wine-growing. Maison Trimbach’s vineyards are all situated around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the Vosges Mountains protection, which preserves the plain from the rain. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville’s fault line that fractured 50 million years ago between the Vosges Mountain range and the Black Forest offering a mosaic of terroirs including the complex calcareous limestone and bio-degraded seashell fossils called “Muschelkalk”.
