✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Trimbach’s Riesling Classic is the definitive ambassador of the estate's dry, precise, and structured winemaking philosophy. Sourced from choice vineyard parcels around Ribeauvillé, where limestone, sandstone, and marl soils dominate, this wine represents a centuries-old dedication to purity. The Trimbach family avoids malolactic fermentation entirely, fermenting the juice in temperature-controlled stainless steel and old oak foudres to preserve the grape's natural, electric acidity and pristine fruit character. Historically, Alsatian Riesling was prized by royalty and local taverns alike for its ability to cut through rich regional cuisine. Trimbach's Classic expression remains a benchmark for the region, delivering a bone-dry profile defined by green apple, white peach, and a distinct, stony minerality that reflects the soul of Alsace.
