Trimbach Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive 2000
Price £36.20
Stock Level: 2
| Grape: | Pinot Gris |
| Strength: | 13% |
| Style: | Sweet |
| Size: | 750ml |
| Cellar Notes: | Unlike most Alsace wines, they contain residual sugar which gives high viscosity and a honeyed quality. However their great richness is balanced by fresh fruity acidity which does not only confers exceptional length on the palate but also prevents the wines from being cloying. This wine is made from botrytised noble Pinot Gris, hand-selected and from the best vineyards. It is made in only exceptional years and has natural residual sugar (over 30g) which harmonises perfectly with the fresh and acidic character. |
| Appearance: | Intense green yellow. |
| Aromas: | Honey and mango. |
| Palate: | The botrytized, apricot and mango-scented wine has bags of elegance. It is medium bodied, beautifully structured and very well-balanced. White peaches are explicitly evident adding complexity to this powerful, delicate and silky smooth wine. |
| Serving Notes: | Delightful alone or as an aperitif, but they also have their place with foie gras, rich cuisine or desserts. |

Trimbach
The Trimbach family has been involved in making wine since 1626 and has, over thirteen generations, built an enviable reputation for the quality of its entire range. From the Pinot Blanc through to the iconic Clos Sainte Hune Riesling, the wines are considered the benchmark for quality, consistency and style.
The essence of Trimbach, with the obvious exception of the luscious dessert wines, is the traditional dry style in which the wines are made. Many Alsace houses are today making rather clumsy wines with an element of sweetness that detracts from their food matching suitability; not so with Trimbach, whose wines are pure, vibrant and refreshing. It is no accident that the Trimbach wines are listed in every single one of the 26 Michelin Three Star restaurants in France, and are present on the very best restaurant wine lists across the globe
