Finely wrought, this dry, compact white layers expressive accents of honeycomb, lanolin, iodine and smoke with flavors of poached pear, lemon meringue and green almond. Not your typical Gewürztraminer. Drink now through 2028

Fresh lime and its zest lend the Trimbach 2008 Gewurztraminer Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre a rather Riesling-like aura, while a hint of sweetness supports its notes of litchi and melon, which fruit pit and citrus peel bitterness helps to balance-out for a virtually dry finishing impression.
Full and rich – I can see why the decision was taken not to let it ferment below 13 grams of residual sugar – this evinces fascinating low-tones of smoked meat, peat, and clove in a persistent, if faintly warm finish.
