Description
From its historic vineyards in and around Ribeauvillé, Trimbach makes this Muscat Réserve as a declaration of principles: a dry, precise and aromatically expressive wine that is far removed from the sweet image that usually accompanies Muscat. In a region where there are barely 350 hectares planted with this variety, Trimbach Alsace Muscat Réserve dares to show it in its purest and most austere form. Sourced from old vines grown in chalky-clay soils and under a continental climate marked by cold winters and dry summers, this wine reflects the tense minerality and restrained elegance of the Alsace terroir.
The Trimbach family - in its 12th generation of winemakers - has always been committed to a dry, vertical, gastronomic style. This Muscat is no exception, and is the result of a rigorous selection of perfectly ripe, but not overripe grapes.
Winemaking
The grapes that give life to the Trimbach Alsace Muscat Réserve are gently pressed in a pneumatic press, avoiding oxidation or undesired herbaceous notes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and in traditional vats, without malolactic fermentation or ageing on lees, in order to preserve as much freshness and varietal expression as possible. Bottling is carried out without the intervention of new wood, respecting the aromatic typicity of the Muscat and its dry profile.
Taste
Aromatically, Trimbach Alsace Muscat Réserve is dazzling: notes of lime blossom, white peach, fresh grapes and a citrus background of lemon and lime zest. Nothing cloying; everything about this Muscat is about purity. The palate is dry, crisp and vibrant, with a firm acidity that sustains the light but persistent passage. The profile is floral, fruity and mineral at the same time, with hints of wet stone, citrus zest and a delicate bitter finish that adds tension. Ideal for fresh dishes: ceviche, sashimi, asparagus or goat's cheese. A Muscat with a firm, uncompromising character that seduces with elegance and precision.
