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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1626 by Jean Trimbach, Maison Trimbach has spent nearly four centuries defining the pinnacle of Alsatian winemaking from its historic base in Ribeauvillé, France. Under the enduring stewardship of the Trimbach family, the estate is globally revered for its uncompromising dedication to a dry, structured, and intensely mineral style of wine that eschews malolactic fermentation to preserve pristine acidity and varietal purity. Their legendary portfolio is anchored by the iconic Clos Sainte Hune, a peerless monopole Riesling from the Rosacker Grand Cru, alongside exceptional expressions of Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc. By marrying deep-rooted ancestral traditions with meticulous vineyard management, Trimbach continues to craft some of the world's most cellar-worthy and gastronomically versatile white wines.
