✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Maison Trimbach’s Riesling Vendanges Tardives is a masterclass in Alsatian late-harvest winemaking, produced only in exceptional years when autumn conditions allow the grapes to over-ripen on the vine. The term 'Vendanges Tardives' translates to 'late harvest,' a designation legally defined in Alsace since 1984, requiring exceptionally high natural sugar levels at harvest. Trimbach's signature style shines through even in this sweet category; while the wine possesses luscious residual sugar and complex notes of honey, candied citrus, and petrol, it is defined by a striking, spine-tingling acidity that keeps the palate remarkably fresh and balanced. Sourced from selected old-vine parcels in Ribeauvillé, the grapes sometimes benefit from the onset of noble rot, adding layers of exotic complexity. This rare cuvée represents the pinnacle of patience, tradition, and the Trimbach family's refusal to compromise on structural elegance.
🍾 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.
