Domaine Trimbach Clos St Hune Riesling 2018 is a single-vineyard dry Riesling from the Alsace region of northern France. Located in the village of Ribeauvillé, Trimbach is one of the most historic winemaking families in Alsace. The estate is now run by the 12th generation of the family, Pierre and Jean. Trimbach is renowned for its restrained, energetic style of Alsatian white wine (`Protestant` rather than `Catholic` is how the family would describe it). In particular the family`s Rieslings possess a laser-like acidity and restrained complexity which may only be revealed slowly over many years of bottle age. "The bright-coloured 2018 Clos Ste Hune Riesling shows an intense and very concentrated bouquet of ripe fruits and crushed stones. Muschelkalk limestone dominates the palate, which reveals a powerful, dense and still quite bitter Riesling whose compact phenols still cage this dormant Riesling on a stony and saline bed. The finish, however is very potent and long. A bigger glass and more time probably would have helped the wine significantly, because I believe it`s greater than this score is suggesting. 13.3% stated alcohol plus four grams per litre of residual sugar." Robert Parker, 2023
