Tasting note
The luscious, intensely perfumed late-harvest Gewürztraminer from Trimbach is imbued with honey, spices and mint, with rose petals and more spice on the tongue. Enhanced by a kiss of Botrytis, this is an elegantly sweet and complex wine.
Viticulture
Grapes are sourced from Grand Cru Osterberg in Ribeauville and very old vines planted at the Muelforst site in Hunawihr. The well-drained vineyards, facing South, contain argilo-cacaire soils over a deep limestone base, excellent for growing Gewurztraminer. The yield is only 25 hl/ha.
Vinification
This wine is made from botrytised noble Gewurztraminer, hand-selected and from the best vineyards. It is made in only exceptional years and has natural residual sugar (over 80g) which harmonises perfectly with the fresh and acidic character.
Food Match
Enjoy with Asian-Fusion dishes, Laksa and other spicy dishes or Pair with white meats in creamy sauce as well as Foie gras.
