✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Trimbach’s Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles 'Fût 27' represents the absolute pinnacle of Alsatian sweet winemaking, produced only in exceptional vintages when weather conditions allow for the development of noble rot. The name pays homage to 'Fût 27,' a historic large oak foudre in Trimbach’s deep, cool cellars in Ribeauvillé, where this precious nectar undergoes an incredibly slow fermentation and aging process. The grapes are meticulously harvested by hand, berry by individual berry, selecting only those perfectly shriveled by botrytis. This painstaking process yields a wine of extraordinary concentration, balancing intense honeyed sweetness with Riesling’s trademark vibrant, laser-like acidity and profound mineral depth.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1626 in Riquewihr and later relocated to Ribeauvillé, Maison Trimbach represents thirteen generations of unyielding devotion to Alsatian viticulture. The estate spans over 60 hectares across premier terroirs along the Ribeauvillé fault line, notably in Ribeauvillé, Bergheim, and Hunawihr, where complex Muschelkalk limestone, marl, and sandstone soils intersect with a sheltered semi-continental climate. Following decades of sustainable management, Trimbach achieved official organic certification across all estate holdings and partner grower parcels in 2023. Winemaking philosophy hinges on an uncompromising pursuit of balance, tension, and gastronomic dryness: fruit undergoes gentle pressing, parcel-by-parcel temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel and neutral casks, and absolute prevention of malolactic fermentation, accompanied by patient bottle aging prior to commercial release. Celebrated worldwide for crystalline structure and ageworthiness, the house benchmarks include the monumental single-terroir Riesling Clos Sainte Hune from the Rosacker lieu-dit, the venerable Cuvée Frédéric Emile, and exquisitely sculpted Grand Cru releases such as Mandelberg and Schlossberg.
