The renowned Grand Cru Schlossberg is the largest Grand Cru of Alsace. It is a sought-after terroir for excellent Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. A firm, elegant aroma with some spicy apricots and only a hint of sous-bois. The taste is fruity and full and not at all sweet. The acidity is fresh, making it perfect on the table.

By Sweet, we mean very sweet. 170 grams of residual which results in a wine of amazing concentration and amazing value when one considers how much fruit is required to make even a single bottle of this wine, made entirely from the Grand Cru Schlossberg.

From 60+ year old vines located at the top of the vineyard. A ripe and very flattering vintage for this outstanding Grand Cru vineyard which is home to the famous ‘Clos St Hune’ Riesling from Trimbach. Great depth, finesse and shape with rich, intense citrus fruit with notes of minerality and outstanding length. The wine’s great depth of fruit, structure and minerally acidity ensures that 10 years or more of careful cellaring would be well repaid. A great dry Riesling from a great vintage and great vineyard!!

Take one whiff of this wine and it’s impossible to mistake the grape variety. Shows classic rose petal aromas, with hints of wild flowers and exotic Lychee fruit. Lovely round texture, with layer after layer of flavour extending to a very long and generous finish. This is classic Alsace Gewurztraminer.

Fine racy and floral. Classic white flower and citric aromas lead to a crisp and refreshing palate. Perfect aperitif - and great with seafood

Very fragrant peach, apple and tropical fruit characters on the nose and palate. Round and supple in texture, with wonderfully precise flavour. Great concentration and depth with a hint of residual sugar. The rich texture and cleansing acid balance gives this wine great appeal.

100% Riesling. The Trimbach family has been making wines in the French province of Alsace since 1626-- a remarkable succession from father to son based on an unchanging devotion to the wines of their beautiful corner of France. Run by the 12th generation of the Trimbach family, Pierre makes the wine and his younger brother Jean sells it. Pierre Trimbach's wine making is impeccable and results in firm, masculine, bone dry and richly fruity wines of enormous breeding -- for some a yardstick by which to judge all others in the region. The top selling brand of Alsace wine in the United States.

Rated by many judges as the greatest Alsace Riesling of all, Clos Sainte Hune comes from an exceptional 1.3 hectare plot near Hunawihr. Of great longevity and very rare (production rarely exceeds 7000 bottles), Clos Sainte Hune takes at least seven years to reach its peak. The wine is vinified to complete dryness leaving no residual sugar. Fermented in stainless steel vats with no oak aging. To insure that the maximum flavor of the grape comes through, there is no malolactic fermentation. Bottling is early to preserve freshness. This classic wine is dry yet succulent, and attains phenomenal complexity with age. Clos Sainte Hune develops an extraordinary aftertaste of minerals after a few years in the bottle. It is prized by connoisseurs.

Rich and inviting, with complex smoke, apple, peach, lemon and mineral flavors. Has great intensity on the palate and a smooth texture that melds with the vibrant structure. The finish is long and detailed. To be released fall 2006. Drink now through 2010. 94/100; Wine Spectator

The Trimbach Gewurztraminer is dry and shows classic restraint, without any loss of the Gewurztraminer's exotic and spicy feature. The match is perfect with spicy styles of Cuisine such as asiatic or thai food, or it goes wonderfully with strong cheeses such as Munster, Roquefort, etc. It will please all lovers of aromatic and dry wines amateur!

The "classic" bottling of Trimbach's 2007 Gewurztraminer is scented with sweet pea, cinnamon, nutmeg, litchi, celery seed, Thai basil, and rose petal, its floral and herbal characteristics emerging to especially lovely inner-mouth prominence. In keeping with the entire vintage at this address, we have here refreshment that is uncommon in Gewurztraminer, especially in one that tastes dry, though the finish is less interesting than the nose led me to hope. I’d plan to drink it over the next 3-4 years. The Wine Advocate
