Vinification of the F.E. Trimbach Riesling Réserve

This balanced white wine from France is vinified from the Riesling grape variety. In Alsace, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of sand, limestone, granite, clay and marl. Riesling Réserve is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for Riesling Réserve are harvested exclusively by hand, without the help of coarse and less selective full harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately sent to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Then fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wood at controlled temperatures. After completion of fermentation, the Riesling Réserve can continue to harmonize for several months on the fine lees... The aging in wooden barrels is followed by a considerable bottle aging, which makes this white wine even more complex.
