Maison Trimbach (F. E. Trimbach) is, without question, one of the greatest names in wine-making in the French region of Alsace. Based in the town of Ribeauvillé, the Trimbach family has been involved in wine-making for over 13 generations. The business was founded by Jean Trimbach in 1626 in Riquewihr and has since moved twice, in the 1840s to Hunawihr and most recently to Ribeauvillé after World War One. Maison Trimbach has an enviable reputation for the quality of its entire range. Trimbach owns many vineyards located around Ribeauvillé (with predominantly limestone soils) but they also act as a negociant for local growers. Trimbach does not use the Alsace Grand Cru designation for any of their wines (although most of their top wines come from Grand Cru vineyard sites).

The company is perhaps best known for its top-end dry Rieslings made in the traditional Alsatian style – structured, elegant, fruity, balanced and long-lived. Trimbach’s top wine is the iconic Clos Ste Hune, a dry Riesling produced from a special plot in the Rosacker Grand Cru Vineyard. Trimbach wines are also listed in every single one of the 27 Three Michelin Star restaurants in France and are present on the very best restaurant wine lists across the globe.

Trimbach Gewurztraminer is 100% Gewurztraminer. After harvesting, grapes are brought directly to the winery where the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and bottled early without malolactic fermentation. This is made in the Trimbach house style in that it is slightly dryer than most.

Trimbach Gewurztraminer 37.5cl half bottles are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Also available in 75cl bottles.

Why Buy Half Bottles of Gewurztraminer?

An opportunity to savour Gewurztraminer’s aromatic complexity (lychee, rose petal and spice) without the commitment of a full bottle and let’s face it, you don’t always need a full bottle of this wonderfully perfumed wine. Great if you want to pair a glass or two of Gewurztraminer with a starter dish or perhaps a rich cheese (it is often served with Munster) after a meal. Read more about half bottles.
