✨ Technical Specifications
Trimbach's Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle represents the pinnacle of the estate's work with this noble Alsatian variety. Sourced primarily from the limestone and clay-rich soils of the Osterberg Grand Cru in Ribeauvillé, this cuvée is only produced in exceptional vintages. Historically, Pinot Gris was known in Alsace as 'Tokay d'Alsace,' a name associated with the legendary 16th-century general Lazarus von Schwendi. Trimbach crafts this wine in their signature bone-dry, structured style, completely avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity that beautifully balances the grape's natural richness, spice, and opulent texture. After slow fermentation in stainless steel and neutral wood, the wine is aged extensively in the estate's historic cellars before release.
