Trimbach
If it’s quality , dry Alsace wines you’re after, you can do no better than Trimbach.
Maison FE Trimbach, as they are formally known, are a family wine producer based in the medieval
Alsace town of Ribeauvillé since 1626. That’s 13 generations and counting of wine knowledge,
expertise and excellence.
Down the centuries, the family (and the company) have kept their founder’s principles at the heart
of production: dry, elegant, balanced and structured, matching well with a wide variety of food. They
are classified into five ranges, with particular qualities and specifications for each one: Classic wines,
Réserve, Réserve Personnelle, the Riesling and Grand Cru Collection, and the Vendanges Tardives &
Sélections de Grains Nobles.
Ribeauvillé is on the classic Wine Route, set among rivers, mountains and limestone vineyards, and
the grapes grown here come from a diverse range of terroirs as a result; and Trimbach grown their
own grapes across their 40 hectares of vineyard. They have a firm belief in the importance of natural
viticulture in the production, flavour and longevity of their wines, and these are some of their
notable practices:
- Hand-harvesting of the grapes
- Processing the juice with gravity-based methods in cellar
- Bottling in the spring for freshness
The grapes they favour are mainly Riesling, but also Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Noir, Blanc,
Sylvaner and Muscat varieties.
Trimbach export the majority of their estate wines across the globe, and have a special place in the
hearts of dry wine connoisseurs the world over for their longevity and authenticity.
