Trimbach is one of Alsace’s most revered names, with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1626. Generations of dedication have shaped their signature style—dry, precise, and built to age. The Frédéric Emile Riesling is a true icon of the estate, sourced from two exceptional Grand Cru-designated vineyards, Osterberg and Geisberg, though Trimbach famously chooses not to label it as such. These steep, limestone- and sandstone-rich slopes lend remarkable tension and mineral complexity to the wine, while the region’s long, dry growing season ensures perfect ripeness.
The 2016 vintage is a masterpiece of balance and structure, showcasing bright citrus, crisp green apple, and ripe stone fruit wrapped around a taut core of saline minerality. Hints of beeswax, white flowers, and the first whispers of classic Alsace petrol emerge, promising a fascinating evolution over decades. With its laser-sharp acidity and elegant weight, this is a wine of both power and finesse, built to reward patience.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.

If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
