Trimbach Reserve Riesling 2022 - 750ml

94pts James Suckling

Already on the nose this has a terrific interplay of stone fruit and herbal freshness with a tantalizing touch of spices. You feel the power and concentration of Alsace dry riesling from a warm, dry vintage, but also a wonderful citrusy freshness. A delicate chalky minerality echoes through the very long finish. 100% from estate vineyards in Ribeauville and Bergheim. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

93pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Riesling Réserve is from top vineyards in Ribeauvillé and Bergheim that haven't been sourced for the grands crus but are partly seriously old. Bottled in April 2023 and already released, the wine displays a clear and refined, intense and elegant bouquet of fully ripe and spicy fruits but also remarkably floral talents. The wine is lush and intense on the refined and elegant palate, provided with some Muscat-like aromas, ripe, saline acidity and very fine tannins. The finish is harmonious, fruit-intense and backed up by a serious mineral structure. Superb. 13% stated alcohol.

Winemaker Notes

Structured and fruity, this wine reveals itself with finesse. Characteristic of the geological richness of the limestone terroir of Ribeauvillé, it expresses itself with a beautiful width in the mouth. Always in balance, it is of course dry and chiseled with a gourmet and charming side. The finish is mineral and saline.

Ideal to share as an aperitif around tapas or mezze. Serve with traditional sauced dishes such as vol-au-vent or veal blanquette. Very nice with fish sashimi, Japanese seaweed salad, Spaghetti alle Vongole. Will also enhance seasonal vegetable or seafood risottos.

Ready to be tasted now but will evolve favorably in the years to come to gain depth and offer an even more intense expression of the terroir. Ageing potential eight years minimum.
