Food Matching Note:
The wine is an excellent companion to charcuterie, smoked meats as well as duck and soft cheeses.
Tasting Note:
The wine is light and herby on the palate with vibrant strawberry and cherry flavours. Round and structured, the more intense, vegetal characters will develop with bottle age in place of the primary red fruit flavours. The wine is medium bodied and has perfect, soft tannin. A classic expression of Alsace Pinot noir, traditionally served chilled.
Vinification Note:
In Alsace, Pinot Noir needs the longest and warmest summers to reach optimum maturity and as a consequence Trimbach only vinifies this wine in exceptional years. The grapes are crushed and destemmed followed by temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is not oaked in order to preserve fruit purity and freshness. Bottling takes place in the spring following the harvest.
