This is classic Alsace Riesling done right—dry, vibrant, and full of energy. With crisp citrus, pear, and stone fruit aromas, it punches well above its weight as an entry-level wine. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and racy, with chalky minerality and a long, refreshing finish that keeps things lively. Made from organically grown grapes and vinified in Trimbach’s signature dry style, it’s incredibly versatile at the table. Pair it with seafood, white meats, sushi, or spiced Asian dishes. Enjoy it now for its youthful charm or cellar it for a few more years to unlock even more depth.

The wide spectrum of citrus, crisp pear and stone fruit aromas announces a remarkable achievement for an entry-level wine. Excellent depth on the racy, medium-bodied palate where the chalky minerality beautifully counterpoints the cool fruit. Crisp, long finish with so much vitality. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
