Maison Trimbach's viticultural origins date back to 1626, and since then, twelve generations of rigorous winemakers and Ambassadors devoted to the passion for Alsace wines have constantly distinguished themselves by the quality and authenticity of their wines, to patiently develop, from father to son, a solid reputation. The 13th generation joined the estate a few years ago.
1811 Birth of Jean-Frédéric Trimbach who takes a prominent place in viticulture in Alsace. He contributes to the influence of excellent wines from the unique terroir of the Ribeauvillé fracture field stretching from Turckheim to Saint-Hippolyte, already very famous for their Riesling...
1898 Diploma of Honor at the Brussels International Fair awarded to Frédéric Emile Trimbach.
The juices descend by gravity into our cellar located just below the estate.
We carefully decant all of our juices using centrifugal force.
Then each plot is vinified separately (except for our classic Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Gewurztraminer).
The juices are then placed in thermo-regulated vats in order to start their alcoholic fermentation.
No malolactic fermentation is carried out, except for Pinot Noir.
Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, we carry out an aging on the fermentation lees for several weeks. The time of this aging is determined solely by the tasting of our wines. Depending on this tasting, we then decide whether or not to extract them.
Our Alsace wines are then aged on fine lees for several months. The aging time is tailor-made according to the needs of each of our wines. We carry out tangential filtration with ceramic filters in order to guarantee the future of our wines and their optimal aging in the bottle.
In the cellar, seriousness and rigor set the tone. Old casks and stainless steel vats follow one another: tradition and modernity go hand in hand with efficiency and precision.
The key words are: balance, purity, consistency and minerality. The objective is to bring out the terroir in each of our Alsace wines.
Bottling begins in the spring following the harvest and continues until the end of July, or even the beginning of September, depending on the vintage.
Then it's timefor the new vintage in a clean and empty cellar!

The 2023 Riesling is the house's biggest production. Depending on the vintage, up to 400,000bottles are made, blended from sites across Alsace, including grand cru fruit. The nose is amarvel of crunchy green and red apple aromas. lt's scented but tenderly so, promising tons ofcrunch and freshness. The palate delivers this in spades with vivacious freshness and verve ona light, strait-laced and clean-cut bottle-the emblematic house style. The 2023 is beautifullylip-smacking, lemon-infused finish.(Bone-dry)
