Maison Trimbach’s Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru represents a masterful marriage of one of Alsace’s most historic terroirs with the family’s legendary dry winemaking philosophy. Schlossberg was the very first vineyard in Alsace to receive Grand Cru status in 1975, a testament to its steep, south-facing terraced slopes composed of nutrient-poor, granite-rich soils. This unique granite terroir imparts a distinct, crystalline minerality and a refined, airy structure to the Riesling grape. True to the Trimbach signature, the grapes are vinified dry without malolactic fermentation, preserving the vibrant, electric acidity and pure fruit profile. The result is a wine of majestic elegance, offering delicate floral aromas, citrus zest, and a profound, stony finish that reflects centuries of Alsatian viticultural heritage.
