What it tastes like.

The Reserve Riesling is made up of older vine material, averaging around 45-50 years, taken from the estate’s vineyards in Ribeauvillé and Bergheim, including the Grand Cru of Altenberg de Bergheim and the lieu-dits of Hagueneau and Pflaenzer. The fruit is crushed and pressed then fermented in stainless steel tanks. In line with the house’s fresh and vivacious style, the wine does not undergo malolactic conversion or long lees maturation. 12.94% Alc/Vol; 5.3 g/L RS; 9.09 g/L TA, pH 3.04.

‘The 2022 Riesling Réserve is from top vineyards in Ribeauvillé and Bergheim that haven't been sourced for the grands crus but are partly seriously old. Bottled in April 2023 and already released, the wine displays a clear and refined, intense and elegant bouquet of fully ripe and spicy fruits but also remarkably floral talents. The wine is lush and intense on the refined and elegant palate, provided with some Muscat-like aromas, ripe, saline acidity and very fine tannins. The finish is harmonious, fruit-intense and backed up by a serious mineral structure. Superb. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.’ 93 points, Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate, Feb 2025

About Trimbach.

Alsace (Ribeauvillé) ·Est. 1626

Maison Trimbach has produced Alsace wine for thirteen generations and 400 years, founded in 1626 when Jean Trimbach began growing vines in Riquewihr. The estate moved to Hunawihr in the 1840s and to its current Ribeauvillé base after the First World War. Trimbach's reference Rieslings — the Cuvée Frédéric Émile and the single-vineyard Clos Sainte Hune from a four-acre old-vine parcel in Grand Cru Rosacker — set the dry-Riesling standard for Alsace. Anne, Frédérique, Julien and Pauline (the thirteenth generation) now run the operation.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Trimbach

Alsace (Ribeauvillé)

Jean Trimbach settled at Riquewihr in 1626 and began growing vines, starting a line that now runs to thirteen generations. The family later moved its cellars to Hunawihr, drawn by the limestone slopes that give their Riesling its spine, and in the 1890s moved again to Ribeauvillé, where the house has been based ever since.

Trimbach farms 63 hectares of its own vineyards, mostly around Ribeauvillé and Hunawihr, and Riesling accounts for about half of everything made, roughly double the share Riesling takes across Alsace as a whole. Grand Cru sites make up almost a third of production, against four per cent for the region. The two reference wines are Cuvée Frédéric Émile, usually an even blend of the Geisberg and Osterberg Grand Crus, and Clos Sainte Hune, a 1.67-hectare monopole inside Grand Cru Rosacker that yields no more than 8,000 bottles and is widely held to be the benchmark for dry Riesling anywhere.

The house style is unbending: whole-bunch pressing for Riesling, cool slow ferments, malolactic discouraged and early bottling, all in the service of freshness rather than weight. Jean Trimbach describes the aim as wines that are concentrated but not heavy, fruity but not sweet, bracing rather than fat. Chemical treatments were dropped from the vineyards and cellar in 1972, and every estate vineyard has been certified organic since 2023. Annual production runs to about 95,000 dozen.
