Trimbach, Riesling Schlossberg

Trimbach, Riesling SchlossbergVivid straw green. Penetrating mineral and lemon notes complement green apple and jasmine on the nose. Fresh and clean on the palate, offering pure flavors of wet stone and orchard fruits. The finish is long and crystalline. This wine is a first for Trimbach, as the estate had never produced a wine from the Schlossberg. Moreover, Trimbach was long opposed to labeling wines with grand cru names, only relenting in recent years. This Riesling is made

well-balanced and beautifully persistent finish

There is excellent richness and mid-palate density to the caressing yet powerful flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the firm

Finishes with lively acidity extending the flavors at the back

The acidity is there to enable this to round into form

complexity and pedigree

personality-filled wine with gobs of fruit

Lots of black olives and wet earth under the fruit

smoke and a solid tannin structure

crispness and bite

There is little doubt the 2001 is shaping up to be one of the most elegant Sorì San Lorenzos ever made

It smells and tastes like no other wine

floral and spiced apple
