This golden-hued wine has a shimmer of chamomile on its tender, bright and fresh apple-tinged nose. The palate shoots like an arrow of freshness, sleek and slender but with killer instinct. Ripeness and juiciness are united here in their one intention of refreshment. Dryness and a lovely zesty texture ring long after the finish.

Around the villages of Ribeauvillé and Hunawihr, the Trimbach family owns 27 hectares of vineyards including 1.67ha of Rosacker Grand cru (which produces the highly famed Clos Sainte Hune Riesling) as well as parcels of Geisberg and Osterberg (blended to make the equally renowned Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile). Geisberg and Osterberg are located on the hill rising up behind the ‘new’ family winery on the edge of Ribeauvillé. The family moved from their ‘old’ winery in Hunawihr in the 1890’s! Indeed, the label of Clos Sainte Hune depicts the view to the local church from the old winery in Hunawihr.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAccording to Jean Trimbach, the house style is aiming for \u003cem\u003e‘harmonious wines that are concentrated, not heavy; fruity, not sweet; bracing rather than fat; polite rather than voluptuous.’\u003c\/em\u003e To that end, fermentations are cool and slow, maloloactic fermentation is not carried out and the wines are bottled early to retain freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1584926595346_747\" class=\"\"\u003eThe dry Rieslings are usually made with less than 5g\/l of residual sugar, whereas the dry Gewürztraminers might carry up to 10g\/l. The wines are then aged in the cellar for at least one year; up to 5 years or more for the top wines. Even the richer Vendanges Tardive and Selection de Grains Nobles wines are made with more restraint than is usual in Alsace more generally: VT Rieslings typically carry 15-40g\/l; VT Gewürztraminer around 50-75g\/l; and SGN typically from 100g\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buzz Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48851344490746,"sku":"TRIM23HALFRESRIES","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/8329\/1492\/files\/TrimbachRieslingReserveNVHalf_4341e89b-e450-4b55-a076-61f83f174dee.jpg?v=1686833915","url":"https:\/\/buzzwines.com\/products\/trimbach-riesling-reserve-2023-375-ml","provider":"Buzz Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
