About Maison Trimbach
he wine-growing origin of Maison Trimbach dates back to 1626. Since then, twelve generations of rigorous winemakers and ambassadors dedicated to the passion for Alsace wines have never ceased to distinguish themselves by the quality and authenticity of their wines, to patiently develop, from father to son, a solid reputation. The 13th generation joined the estate a few years ago.
Alsace is an exceptional wine region. Wth plenty of sunshine and 13 differnt soil types, it offers range ot terroirs that create exceptional wines.
The climate is semi-continental: cold winters, hot and dry summers, sometimes stormy, and beautiful and dry autumns. The sunshine is optimal and the rainfall very low because protected from oceanic influences by the Vosges massif (in 2020: Colmar 424 mm of water against 758 mm in Lorraine and 778 mm in France).
The vines planted on the hills of the Vosges, on hillsides, have an essential impact on the quality of the grapes: drainage, less fertile soils, better exposure to the sun and ideal orientations: South, South-East, South-West. All these conditions thus contribute to the constitution of the inimitable characteristics of Alsace wines.
The know-how of Maison Trimbach is based on ancient traditions, values and passionate and competent people, who work every day to ensure that you find their values in your glass of wine.
The Trimbach wines from Alsace are available in 5 ranges of wines with specificities and qualities uniquw to each range.
The classic must-haves, our wines from a strict selection of the Reserve range, the Personal Reserve wines, the Collection of Riesling and Grands Crus, and finally the Vendanges Tardives and Selections of Grains Nobles.
Riesling mainly, but also Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Muscat.
