More Information

PLEASE NOTE THIS WINE IS IN JOHANNESBURG
Since 1626, the Trimbach family has been promoting the history, exceptional terroirs and fine wines of Alsace. Maison Trimbach is located in Ribeauvillé, where today three generations work closely together. The house has been in the Trimbach family for centuries. Frédéric Emile Trimbach received the highest distinction for his wines at the International Wine Fair in Brussels in 1898, this was a pivotal point for the success and notoriety of the brand. In 1920, Frédéric Théodore, his son, moved the family business to Ribeauville to make way for expansion. The house is still located there today under the leadership of the 12th and 13th generations: Hubert Trimbach, his daughter Anne and his nephews Jean and Pierre.

Trimbach Pinot Gris 2005 13th Generation is dedicated to Bernard Trimbach's 10 grandchildren, who are leading the company today. The grapes are selected by Pierre and Jean Trimbach from the Trimbachs’ own vineyards and from growers with whom the family has long term relationships, and usually picked during the first week of October. The Pinot Gris is vinified to complete dryness and is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel and concrete vats. The wine is not oak-aged, as the Trimbachs believe that wood adds nothing to their wines, the salient characteristics of which are extreme purity and concentrated fruit.
