Producer: Trimbach

Description:
Pinot Noir Réserve is from Trimbach’s own vineyards and those of their growers with the age of 40+ years old. The vineyards are located in the southern part of Alsace: Rodern and St Hippolyte, some based on granite, some on sandstone, and some from marl and limestone soils. This wine represents the unique mosaic of soils of our region. The vintage started with a harsh winter, heavy precipitation and snowy episodes. An early and fleeting spring led to a complicated summer, with lack of sun and heavy rain; however, a superb late season, with generous sunshine and significant thermal amplitudes paved the way for good maturity and acidity. The harvest turned out to be surprisingly exceptional!

Tasting Note:
Delicate aromas red and black berries underlined by subtle smoky and forest floor. Beautifully structured mouthfeel, combines fruitiness – Morello cherries and kirsch – with supple, velvety tannins and juicy freshness. 

Food Matches: Pairs perfectly with roasted red meats, poultry in cream and mushroom sauce, as well as aged cheeses. It also goes beautifully with traditional Alsatian charcuterie.
