Legend has it that this extraordinarily sheltered, south-southeast facing site at the village of Turckheim acquired magical properties from the blood of a dragon that did battle with the sun here. The name 'Brand' means 'fire,' because of its remarkably sunny local climate and the fine-grained granite soil that warms up so readily in the sun. All this leads to Grand Cru wines with a generosity and approachability that is rare among other Alsace wines of this calibre - especially if they are made from Riesling. Trimbach's has pretty blossom and freshly-sliced cooking apple aromas and offers beautiful immediate drinking. This does not mean it will be a short-lived wine, however - enjoy its evolution over a decade or longer.

Press Review
" The 2018 Grand Cru Brand Riesling shows clear, very dense and ripe fruit on the nose intertwined with delicate herbal and stony notes. Supple, round and intense on the palate, this is a powerful and saline dry Riesling cru with herbal notes on the somewhat alcoholic finish. I wish I had more time and a bigger glass to explore this Brand with more patience. Drink 2025-2040. "
Winemaking
Our grapes are harvested at maturity then crushed and delicately pressed in a pneumatic press. Vinified in a dry style in stainless steel vats and old casks. No malotactic, or long ageing on lees in order to preserve freshness, liveliness and fruity aromas. Bottled in the spring following the harvests, then 3 years of ageing minimum in our cellar.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Fresh water fish, cooked, marinated, in creamy sauce, poultry, goat and hard cheeses, also smoked fish, eel and some japanese sushi will pair beautifully with this wine.
