✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Trimbach's Muscat Réserve is a brilliant showcase of Alsatian Muscat, crafted in the house's signature bone-dry, highly structured style. Unlike the sweet, fortified Muscats of southern France, this expression is dry, crisp, and intensely aromatic. It is typically a masterfully balanced blend of Muscat Ottonel, which contributes delicate floral notes and grapey aromatics, and Muscat d'Alsace (Muscat à Petits Grains), which lends vital structure and bright acidity. Sourced from limestone-rich vineyards around Ribeauvillé, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. In keeping with Trimbach tradition, malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the pristine, crunchy acidity. Historically, dry Muscat has been celebrated in Alsace as the quintessential harbinger of spring, traditionally served to toast the arrival of the new season's harvest.
