Clos St Hune Riesling Trimbach 2016

Trimbach Clos St Hune Riesling 2016 is a single-vineyard dry Riesling from the Alsace region of northern France. Located in the village of Ribeauvillé, Trimbach is one of the most historic winemaking families in Alsace. The estate is now run by the 12th generation of the family, Pierre and Jean. Trimbach is renowned for its restrained, energetic style of Alsatian white wine (`Protestant` rather than `Catholic` is how the family would describe it). In particular the family`s Rieslings possess a laser-like acidity and restrained complexity which may only be revealed slowly over many years of bottle age. The Clos St Hune vineyard just outside Hunawihr is the jewel in the family`s crown and produces one of the finest expressions of Alsace Riesling. "This is really phenomenal with such compact fruit and mineral, lemon and spice character. It’s full-bodied yet so refined and polished. It goes on for days. Glorious!" James Suckling, 2019
