Trimbach Gewurztraminer Cuvee Ribeaupierre Branco

Description

This Gewürztraminer from Trimbach, hailing from the charming Ribeauville, is a clear demonstration of the producer’s dedication to absolute perfection. The grapes, harvested by hand with monastic patience, thrive in a demanding terroir – chalky-arenaceous soils at 250 metres above sea level – imparting an intensity to the fruit that’s frankly quite remarkable. The near-dry winemaking and stainless steel fermentation contribute to a remarkable complexity, considering the incredibly low yield which almost feels like a slight transgression. It’s a wine with serious concentration and impeccable balance, and would pair beautifully with poultry or a delicately spiced curry to really highlight its floral and spicy aromatics.
