✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Trimbach's Gewurztraminer Classic is a masterclass in Alsatian precision, showcasing the aromatic intensity of the grape without the heavy, cloying sweetness often found elsewhere. Sourced from select vineyards around Ribeauvillé characterized by limestone, marl, and clay soils, this wine benefits from the region's unique microclimate protected by the Vosges Mountains. True to the Trimbach house style, the grapes undergo a gentle pneumatic pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel, entirely avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve the grape's natural, vibrant acidity. The result is a dry, structured, and beautifully perfumed white wine that captures the exotic, spicy essence of the 'spiced Traminer' grape, a variety woven into the fabric of Alsatian folklore and winemaking history for centuries.
