The Trimbachs have a purist vision. For three centuries and 13 generations, the family has produced wines that are structured, long-lived, fruity, elegant, and balanced: the celebrated Trimbach style. The family personally oversees every operation, from planting to harvesting and from vinification to bottling. The Trimbach family's viticultural origins date back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From that moment on, the Trimbachs were known for their winemaking.
Maison Trimbach's vineyards are all located around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr, and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the protection of the Vosges Mountains, which protect the plain from the rain. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville fault line, which separated the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest 50 million years ago, with a mosaic of terroirs, including the complex calcareous limestone and biodegraded seashell fossils known as "Muschelkalk." Trimbach Reserves are the result of a rigorous selection of primarily old vineyards in Ribeauvillé and the surrounding villages, which produce more complex wines with longer aging potential.
