Jean-Paul Mauler 2016 Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg
Deep gold in tone, with an enveloping, complex nose of pear, lime, grapefruit and bergamot over mineral, lightly smoky notes and a savoury herbal edge. The palate is full and powerful, its generous texture held in shape by clear, wrapping acidity. Concentrated and persistent, with the balance to continue developing.
Domaine Ostertag 2015 Fronholz Riesling
Peach and tangerine make an immediately expressive nose, combining juicy ripeness with aromatic spice and citrus zest. The palate is dry, concentrated and vigorous, with firm acidity, mineral focus and a sleek, crystalline texture. There is real structure and poise beneath the exuberant fruit, carrying the finish with clarity and energy.
Domaine Ostertag 2018 Clos Mathis Riesling
Focused and finely sculpted, with bright citrus framed by a cool, stony mineral character. Granite-grown fruit gives the palate a firm, precise line, while measured ripeness adds shape without heaviness. Sleek, energetic and persistent, it is compelling now for its clarity and has the structure to develop gracefully in bottle.
Trimbach 2023 Sylvaner Weinbaum
Nutty apple and delicate herbs lead a generous, quietly distinctive nose. The palate is medium-bodied, concentrated and elegant, with a cool, dry herbal line carrying through the long finish. Detailed and fresh without becoming heavy, it works well with charcuterie, smoked fish, roast chicken or vegetable tarts.
Trimbach 2016 Reserve Pinot Gris
Ripe Mirabelle plum and pear shape the nose, giving a generous first impression without excess sweetness. The palate is resolutely dry, concentrated and fresh, with an earthy undertone adding depth beneath the fruit. Taut and clean from entry to finish, it carries its weight with poise and closes with whistle-clean precision.
Trimbach 2019 Riesling Grand Cru Mandelberg 750 mL
Ripe yellow fruit fills the nose and palate, generous and succulent without losing clarity. The texture is broad and mouth-filling, balanced by enough freshness to carry the ample body. Mineral tension and a firm, finely cut structure keep the fruit precise, while the finish is long and texturally complex. Serve with roasted fish, shellfish, white meats or dishes with gentle spice.
