Trimbach Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2022
94 Points - The Wine Advocate. A compelling addition to the legendary Alsace house’s line-up—marked by its dramatic granite terroir and meticulous lineage. This Grand Cru emerges from meticulous vineyard work on terraced, south-facing slopes, delivering a wine that is simultaneously rich and sharply mineral, embodying both power and elegance. It’s a bold yet refined expression of Trimbach’s precision-driven style.
Taste
Bold and expressive, Schlossberg 2022 is “open-hearted, fragrant, aromatic and very dense on the nose” with saline concentration. The palate is rich and generous, showing ripe citrus, mirabelle, and chamomile layered over a distinctly stony, structured backbone—dry yet almost sweet in its weight. The finish is long, precise, and brilliantly mineral.
Wine Press Ratings
94 Points - The Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"The 2022 Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg is open-hearted, fragrant, aromatic and very dense on the nose that is saline and concentrated. Rich and generous on the palate, this is a full-bodied, ripe and smooth, almost sweetish yet analytically dry Schlossberg that possibly lacks a bit of finesse and acidity due to the warm and dry vintage and the poor granite soils in the highest part of the very rocky Schlossberg."
About the Producer
Founded in 1626, Maison Trimbach is one of the world’s great wine producers. From their base in Alsace, they craft some of the finest white wines on earth from varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, and Riesling, a grape they are undisputed masters of. Today the house is under the leadership of the 12th and 13th generations of the family with Hubert Trimbach, his daughter Anne and his nephews Jean and Pierre at the helm. Together they manage a range of important vineyard holdings including several Grand Cru sites. Trimbach’s Rieslings are characterised by a combination of elegance and refinement, precision and power. Every care is taken to produce wines that are worthy of the family name and while they drink well young, they are capable of long ageing.
