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, originally from Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in the Vosges, settled in Riquewihr in 1626 and began growing vines — the first generation of what is now thirteen generations of Trimbach winemaking in Alsace. The family moved its operations to Hunawihr in the 1840s, drawn by the limestone-rich slopes that produce the Riesling for which the house would become known. After the destruction of the First World War the estate relocated again to Ribeauvillé, where it has remained since.

Trimbach's estate vineyards cover roughly 50 hectares across Alsace's premier sites, with the spine of the production built on Riesling. The reference wines are the Cuvée Frédéric Émile (a single-vineyard Riesling from Grand Cru Geisberg and Osterberg sites in Ribeauvillé, named for the family's nineteenth-century viticultural innovator) and Clos Sainte Hune, a four-acre old-vine monopole within Grand Cru Rosacker in Hunawihr that produces what is widely cited as one of the world's defining dry Rieslings. The house's signature is unrelenting dryness — Trimbach Rieslings are pithier, more austere and longer-cellaring than the off-dry style of many Alsace neighbours.

Beyond Riesling, Trimbach produces the full Alsace varietal set: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris (including Reserve and Vendange Tardive expressions), Gewurztraminer (also Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles), and Pinot Noir. Pierre Trimbach (who passed away in late 2024) was the senior winemaking voice for decades alongside his cousin Jean Trimbach. The thirteenth-generation cohort — Pierre's daughters Anne and Frédérique, and Jean's children Julien and Pauline — now lead the export, vineyard management and sales operations.
