2022 Trimbach Pinot Blanc, Alsace

Trimbach Pinot Blanc from Alsace is a beautifully pure and refreshing expression of this classic regional variety, crafted with the precision and restraint that define the Trimbach family’s style. Produced in Ribeauvillé by one of Alsace’s most historic estates, founded in 1626, this wine captures the quiet charm and balance that make Pinot Blanc such a versatile and beloved everyday white.

The grapes are sourced from limestone and clay soils around Ribeauvillé, where cool nights and long, sunny days allow slow ripening and bright natural acidity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve freshness and delicate aromatics, and the wine is matured on fine lees for added texture and roundness. The result is a crisp, beautifully balanced white that combines fruit brightness with a gentle mineral backbone.

In the glass it shines pale gold with green reflections. The aroma is subtle and inviting, showing pear, apple, white peach, and acacia blossom, with a hint of almond and wet stone. The palate is dry, smooth, and finely textured, offering fresh orchard fruit and citrus flavours supported by clean acidity and a soft, creamy mouthfeel. The finish is elegant and lightly mineral, leaving a sense of precision and harmony.

It’s a wonderful companion to seafood, grilled white fish, roast chicken, or vegetable quiche, and it’s especially good with mild cheeses or as an aperitif. Enjoy it now for its youthful vibrancy, though it will evolve gracefully for several years, gaining gentle honeyed and nutty nuances.
