✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Trimbach's Riesling Selection de Vieilles Vignes is a masterclass in Alsatian purity, sourced from select old-vine parcels surrounding the historic village of Ribeauvillé. These vines, averaging over 40 years of age, plunge their roots deep into complex limestone and clay soils, yielding a remarkably concentrated and structured wine. True to the Trimbach signature, this Riesling is vinified dry without malolactic fermentation, preserving its laser-like acidity and pristine varietal character. The result is a wine of incredible tension, marked by intense stony minerality, vibrant citrus, and a subtle petrol complexity that develops beautifully with age. It represents a bridge between Trimbach's classic Riesling and their ultra-premium single-vineyard bottlings, capturing the essence of Alsatian terroir.
