Riesling Mandelberg Grand Cru 2021 - Domaine Trimbach

Riesling Mandelberg Grand Cru 2021 - Domaine Trimbach

Alsace - Domaine Trimbach - Riesling Mandleberg

95/100  James Suckling

Sleek and racy, but with excellent polish for this high-acidity vintage, this stunning dry riesling has a wonderful interplay of creaminess with candied-lemon and herbal freshness on the medium-bodied palate. Still quite tightly wound at the bold and crisp finish

Presentation of the cuvée: It's a great moment for Domaine Trimbach! Since 1996, the estate has been cultivating this Grand Cru d'Alsace named Mandelberg. It is located under the almond tree hill in Mittelwihr. The estate has therefore decided to add it to its range of Grand Crus. This great wine of Alsace is produced on a terroir with brown limestone soil and rolled limestone pebbles. South / South-East exposure is warm and early. Extremely limited production for this beautiful rare wine.
