Food Matching Note:
Smokiness and salinity balanced with rich fruit are the drivers of the wine, meaning that it complements smoked fish, pan fried fish with sesame crust, chorizo with seafood and bacon quiche.
Tasting Note:
Rich and fragrant nose, apricot, ripe pear and mango with a touch of botrytis. Very ripe fruits in the palate, creamy texture, full-bodied. Very charming, meaty, rich, and good acidity. Beautifully balanced.
Vinification Note:
The grapes are picked by hand and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice runs into the cellar by gravity and clarifies naturally prior to fermentation. The juice ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature for 2-3 weeks. In this case the fermentation stopped naturally and some very little residual sugar is now balanced by good ripe acidity to give this wine a beautiful balance. These grapes were picked at excellent richness level, around 14° potential alcohol. The wine is not oak-aged, as the Trimbachs believe that wood gives nothing to their wines, the salient characteristics of which are extreme purity and concentrated fruit. Bottling is early to preserve freshness and wines then bottle-aged before leaving the winery.
