Maison Trimbach’s viticultural origins date back to 1626.  Since then, thirteen generations of winemakers, devoted to the passion for Alsace wines, have consistently distinguished themselves by the quality and authenticity of their wines.

The Alsace region is possessed of exceptional vineyards.  The sunshine is optimal and the rainfall is low due to the protection of the nearby Vosges mountains.  The Ribeauvillé fault offers a mosaic of exceptional terroirs including, in particular, complex limestone rocks including the shell limestone called “Muschelkalk”. There are also marls (limestone & clay), sandstone, migmatites, a mixture of gneiss and granite and more.  Each grape variety has its favourite terroir.

The vines are, on average, 45 years old.  Each wine is made from a single grape variety, with Riesling representing half of the production.  The estate’s 61 ha vineyards and the grapes from their 35 winegrowers have been grown organically for 10 years and became officially certified organic in 2023.

The key words to describe all the Trimbach wines are: balance, purity, consistency and minerality. The objective is to bring out the terroir in each of the wines.

Maison Trimbach produces 5 ranges of wines: Classic, Réserve, Réserve Personnelle, Riesling & Grand Cru and Vendanges Tardives & Sélection de Grains Nobles.  The Classic range includes Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer: 3 wines from a selection of grapes from different Alsace terroirs, vinified in a dry, precise and straightforward style. Varietal wines in line with the way we love them!  The Trimbach Riesling Frédéric Emile, is the signature wine and the jewel of Maison Trimbach is the Riesling Clos Ste Hune.
