What it tastes like.

Trimbach produced their first vintage in 2014 (marketed in 2017), in line with the pure and crystalline Riesling typical of that year.

It is the beginning of a collection of Riesling Grands Crus Trimbach, alongside the estate's jewels, Frédéric Emile and Clos Ste Hune.The Grand Cru Schlossberg is a granite terroir. Granite from Thannenkirch and migmatite granite (granite and gneiss) from Kaysersberg.

This Riesling with a beautiful vertical structure is dry, delicate, chiseled and can be aged for at least 10 years or more ...

It is a very limited production, almost confidential ...

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.
