Trimbach Clos St Hune Riesling

Harvested on October 7th. Production quantity: 700 cases (12 bottles each). A hint of raisin on the nose, with air contact: Peach, almond, flint, also crushed rock notes. Fresh on the palate, full of tension, still yeasty in the aromas, lively acidity, salty, full-bodied, building up a chalky richness with oxygen contact, rich and yet balanced by acidity and minerality.

So incredibly fresh and expressively youthful, but also extremely deep and harmonious. Great white and yellow peach fruit with touches of white flowers and fine garden herbs. When I first tasted this it was mouthfilling, but during the following years it has slimmed down to a sleeker silhouette, but without losing any of the giant concentration. A great masterpiece of concentration and racy elegance. You can’t taste the 14.3% alcohol, also because of the effusive natural acidity. Drink or hold.
