WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Trimbach Riesling 2022 is produced from hand-harvested grapes, emphasizing quality selection. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to preserve the wine's natural freshness and acidity. A key winemaking decision is the avoidance of malolactic conversion, which ensures the wine retains its characteristic vibrant acidity. The wines are typically bottled early to capture their youthful character. The estate practices organic viticulture, focusing on soil health. The Trimbach family's approach is rooted in a long tradition of producing structured, long-lived, and elegant wines that express the purity of Alsatian terroir.
