This is a great, intense Riesling Grand Cru with excellent ageing potential, from Alsace's most renowned producer of wines from this noble grape. Don't be fooled by its apparently easygoing first impression - this is from an outstanding, superbly-situated Grand Cru site, and has serious concention and the capacity to keep for many years. With time, its youthful honeysuckle and peach aromas will give way to deeper, richer beeswax, black truffle, honey and crushed rock character, while maintaining superb freshness and vibrancy. Awesome wine.

Winemaking
On a steep,south-facing hillside, at less than nine hectares, the unique terroir of Geisberg is a jewel of Alsace, with Muschelkalk marl, conquina, sandstone and gypsum soils. Cooling winds promote extended hang time, resulting in intense, complex Riesling with fantastic ageing potential. This wine is bottle-aged at Trimbach for five years prior to release.
Press Review
98/100 - Very complex, with a kaleidoscopic mix of youthful and maturing aromas, plus an intense tarragon character that doesn’t neatly fit in either of those characters. Quite some chopped-almond richness on the concentrated, medium- to full-bodied palate. However, the most extraordinary thing about this wine is the enormous, stony minerality that washes over you at the extremely long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Press Review
95+/100 - 2019 Geisberg is very intense and concentrated on the clear and elegant bouquet that indicates ripe and intense fruit. Powerful, rich yet elegant and mineral on the palate, with a long, intense and powerful finish, this Riesling is an almost too rich to be enjoyed at this early stage. The aging capacity is great, though. Drink 2030-2060.
