WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes for this Gewurztraminer are sourced from hillside terroirs and are hand-harvested at maturity. The fruit undergoes gentle pressing before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete vats. Malolactic fermentation is intentionally avoided to maintain freshness and acidity. The wine is then aged for a minimum of two years in the cellar before release. Trimbach has been practicing organic viticulture since 2008 and was certified HVE-3 Organic in 2023.
