Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte-Hune 2008

The 2008 Trimbach Clos Sainte Hune Riesling embodies the pinnacle of Alsatian Riesling, the result of a meticulous selection of grapes from a single plot in the Rosacker Grand Cru. Its origin is a small parcel of just 1.67 hectares, owned by the Trimbach family for over two centuries. This wine is renowned for its complex structure and persistent minerality, qualities that derive from a deep limestone soil. The vinification excludes the use of barriques to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. With aging potential that exceeds decades, the 2008 offers a rich bouquet, with a perfect balance between ripe acidity and pronounced mineral notes, making it ideal for special occasions or as a prestigious addition to any wine collection.

Each vintage of Clos Sainte Hune expresses its own unique characteristics, reflecting the yearly weather conditions that influence the wine’s profile. Both wines are excellent examples of how terroir, meticulous attention to production, and winemaking choices can culminate in Riesling expressions of rare elegance and complexity.
