Description

Don’t let the pale hue deceive you: this is a complex wine with a lot of character. The nose is generous with aromas of lemon sherbet, a touch of green apple, and a subtle underscore of liquorice that keeps the bright citrus in check. The palate: wow. Amazing power and tension, and incredible length. Very ripe white peach, blossom flower and a bracing sharpness – a mineral element that is testament to the limestone soils the grapes are grown on. Very pure, with exhilarating length. This is a wine to enjoy now, or confidently hold.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 94/100
Super-ripe lemon, fresh pineapple and herb aromas pour from the glass of this medium-bodied, concentrated and sophisticated dry riesling. Completely dry, with excellent balance at the long, very clean finish. 100% estate fruit from Ribeauvillé and Bergheim. Drink or hold.

James Button 90/100
The Trimbach family has been making wines in Alsace since 1626. This Riesling has limey aromas with a hint of floral and rubber notes. Tight, dry lime and apple palate, with a pithy character and a touch of exotic fruits. Fresh finish.

Stephan Reinhardt 88/100
Bottled bone dry and with 13.5% stated alcohol, the Trimbach 2020 Riesling Réserve unites the domaine's fruit of Ribeauvillé and Bergheim to a dense and tightly knit, rather robust classic with concentrated fruit representing the old vines on limestone soils. The wine is powerful and grippy and reveals remarkable acidity, yet I find the finish a bit astringent or at least drying. 40,000 bottles produced. Tasted at the domaine.
