Trimbach Reserve Gewurztraminer 2016
75cl / 13.5%
“Varietally accurate aromas and flavors of smoke, grilled pork, white pepper and tropical fruit, but this has a lemony zing that gives a graceful mouthfeel despite a hint of chewy tannins at the back. The finish is long and ripe.
Trimbach does not make this every year but only when they are able to buy good-quality grapes (the wine is made with roughly 95% purchased grapes). The most recent previous Gewürz Réserve was the 2011. About 14,000 bottles made.”

From a rigorous selection in the Ribeauvillé sector and the surrounding villages. Trimbach’s ‘Reserve’ range represents the Alsace terroir and their style is dry, straight and precise. The search for balance and purity are the key words.
This wine made from a selection of grapes is produced only in the great years and improves over the years.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Luminous straw gold
Aroma: Lively and fragrant fruity nose of peaches, white fruits, ripe pears, sweet tangerines and lemons.
Palate: Prominent citrus on the pallet with some lychee, ginger, spice and rose blossoms. Quite creamy with refreshing acidity, the chewy tannins and sweetness accompanying the velvety pallet is terrific. Served well chilled, this wine is excellent with spicy dishes, oriental or Asian cuisine, character cheeses or fruity desserts. Aging potential around 5 to 10 years.
Grape Varieties: 100% Gewurztraminer
Awards : 90pts – Vinous
History of F.E.Trimbach
Maison Trimbach is one of the oldest wineries in the French wine region of Alsace. Dating back to 1626, Trimbach is well-known for its Riesling wines. In particular, one made from the small Clos Sainte Hune vineyard, which is considered one of the finest Alsatian expressions of the grape.
Alongside Riesling, Trimbach has a range of classic Alsace varieties within its wine portfolio. These include Sylvaner, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Pinot Noir. The collection covers a range of styles, but dry, ageworthy wines with great minerality are Trimbach’s specialty. The house makes a few Vendages Tardives and Selection de Grains Nobles wines, as well as some Eaux-de-Vie in select vintages.
