2011 Trimbach Gewurztraminer Ribeaupierre

The predominately “Keuper” marl-limestone soils on which it is produced lend this rare wine a full and powerful style.

Produced from old vines from the former wine estate of the Lords of Ribeaupierre, the grapes are selected and harvested at the peak of their ripeness. It is a wine with flowery and spicy aromas and a dry personality, and yet so rich and so fruity that it almost hints at sweetness … a mere illusion.

In youth, the roundness and viscosity can mask its typical dryness as well as the underlying finesse which is the Trimbach trademark.

This Gewurztraminer is only produced in the very best vintages and it can be cellared for ageing for up to 20 years.
