Trimbach Riesling Alsace Grand Cru Schlossberg 2020 750 ML

From horizontal, south-facing terraces next to the castle, the 2018 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling offers a pure, bright and flinty nuanced bouquet with ripe, elegant fruit aromas intertwined with saline and herbal as well as phenolic notes of granite and gneiss. It’s very refined, elegant and unusually aromatic in its fruit expression but remarkably fine and harmonious. On the palate, this is a crystalline, refined and salty, very grapey Riesling with lush and very elegant fruit, with apricot (and Viognier) flavors, and a long, intense and saline, superbly balanced finish that is warm yet always refined. This is an impressive grand cru from a 1.6-hectare plot that the family acquired in 2012. The first release of the Grand Cru Schlossberg was the 2014 vintage in 2017. The 2018 was bottled with 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
