✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted only in exceptional vintages, the Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile Vendanges Tardives represents the pinnacle of late-harvest artistry from Maison Trimbach. Named in honor of Frédéric Emile Trimbach, who famously secured the estate's international reputation at the 1898 Brussels Exhibition, this rare cuvée is sourced from the prestigious, towering limestone-and-marl Grand Cru slopes of Geisberg and Osterberg that rise directly behind the family estate in Ribeauvillé. While 'Vendanges Tardives' denotes late-harvested grapes often kissed by noble rot, Trimbach's uncompromising commitment to structural purity ensures this wine is never cloying. Instead, it balances rich, concentrated stone fruit, ginger, and petrol complexity with a laser-like beam of natural acidity, avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve the intense mineral tension of its historic terroir.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Trimbach blev grundlagt i 1626 i hjertet af det historiske Alsace og er gennem mere end tolv generationer blevet drevet af Trimbach-familien, som fra vinkældrene i Ribeauvillé har opbygget et enestående internationalt ry. Vinhuset er berømt for sin kompromisløse og puristiske vinfremstilling, hvor fokus er rettet mod knivskarp struktur, mineralsk spændstighed og knastørre vine med et enestående lagringspotentiale. Med druer fra exceptionelle terroirs, herunder prestigefyldte Grand Cru-marker, skaber Trimbach nogle af verdens mest anerkendte hvidvine samt udsøgt, regional eau-de-vie. Husets absolutte kronjuvel, den legendariske Clos Sainte Hune Riesling, regnes for et globalt pejlemærke for præcision og holdbarhed, smukt suppleret af klassiske fortolkninger af Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris og Pinot Blanc.
