Established in Ribeauville, in 1626, Maison Trimbach has always been family owned and run, today with the 12th generation, brothers Jean and Pierre Trimbach, in charge and supported by Pierre’s daughter, Anne, and Jean’s son, Julien. The family owns around 50 hectares of vineyards spread over seven villages and more than 50 sites. While the family has a soft spot for all the Alsace grape varieties, Riesling is their true passion (it makes up 45% of the total production). The style of wine produced here is characterized by high fruit concentration and a juicy texture, with crystal-clear aromatics and a great deal of mineral character from the specific vineyard. All the wines are consistently dry with great freshness and long ageing potential. Depending on the characteristics of a specific vintage, the wines are left to mature in either stainless steel, concrete, or old wood, but there is no set recipe, and the wines don’t see any lees.
