We have a fantastic closeout special today on the 2021 Trimbach Riesling, one of the great benchmark addresses for dry Alsace Riesling and a wine that typically retails around $30. At nearly half that price today, this is an exceptional buy from one of the region’s most historic estates. The Trimbach family has been making wine in Alsace since 1626, and their house style has always favored dry, focused, and mineral-driven Riesling rather than richness or sweetness. The cool 2021 vintage was particularly well suited to that approach, producing wines with excellent acidity, freshness, and aromatic definition. Fermented in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation, the 2021 is crisp and energetic, with lemon, lime and fresh pear joined by white flowers, green apple and a pronounced slate-like minerality. The palate is bone dry, precise and refreshing, with lively acidity and a long, clean, saline finish. This has always been one of the great everyday examples of Alsace Riesling, but at our closeout pricing, it's an especially easy bottle to recommend and a terrific wine to stock up on.
James Suckling 92 pts! An archetypal Alsace dry Riesling with a wide spectrum of aromas ranging from lemon and crisp pear to fresh pineapple and candied orange. Very crisp and focused palate with a wonderful freshness that’s hard to resist. Long, ample finish that’s very clean. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release.
Vinous (Anne Krebiehl MW) 91 pts! The fruit for this estate 2021 Riesling is from numerous villages with limestone, sandy and granitic soils. It is blended every year for consistency - which here means purity and precision. A lovely tangerine hint characterizes the nose with tart citrus intensity; a touch of smoky reduction is still at play. The palate, likewise, is a picture of tart, juicy, mouth-watering citrus. It's straight, focused, slender, yet alive. Riesling lovers will rejoice at this taut and refreshing cuvée. (Bone-dry) (Drink between 2023 - 2040)
