The Trimbachs have a purist vision. Across 12 generations, the family has always produced wines that are structured, long-lived, fruity, elegant and balanced: the celebrated Trimbach style. Muscat as a grape is very sensitive to what the French call “la coulure,” meaning that it has difficulty flowering if the weather is slightly too cold or humid. Introduced into Alsace around 1850, this variety represents about 350 hectares today out of 14000 hectares total. It is the only Muscat AOC in France which is vinified dry. 12. 5% abv
