The ageing that this has already undergone at Trimbach's cellars is manifest in its bright - almost Chartreuse - golden yellow. It has wonderfully deep, enticing aromas of candied lemons, lime marmalade, quince, pineapple, chamomile and honey. Its fabulously satisfying, rich texture in the mouth is kept fresh by zesty acidity and enlivened by intriguing notes of beeswax, pine forest, pineapple and lemon. The wealth of fruit character creates an impression of sweetness, however it is in fact pretty much bone dry. Absolutely - and gloriously - ready to enjoy now, this could be cellared for many more years if desired.

Winemaking
The grapes are always picked by hand as late as possible in order to achieve maximum ripeness and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice runs into the cellar by gravity and clarifies naturally prior to fermentation. The juice ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature for 3-4 weeks. The wine is vinified to complete dryness. It is not oak-aged, the salient characteristics of which are extreme purity and concentrated fruit. Bottling is early to preserve freshness and wines are bottle-aged before leaving the winery. Cuvée Frédéric Emile Riesling needs 3 to 5 years to blossom and usually ages minimum 15 years.
