ALSACE WINE

I come from Alsace and I love the wine from Alsace . Here is a selection from the Trimbach Family which is one of the best wine makers in this region. I hope you will enjoy them.

Riesling Trimbach 2007 £24.00
This wine is pale golden in color with a greenish tinge. On the nose it has developed aromas of minerals and a slight petrol nose. On the palate it is full, again slightly mineral with grapefruit and lemonlike fruit.This ripeness is balanced by good fresh acidity and great length.

Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile 2000 £75.00
The riesling Frederic Emile is from the Grand Cru Geisberg and Osterberg and shows very well after 5 years in bottle. The dry extracts in this wine are amongst the highest Bernard and Pierre have seen in this wine . Without a doubt 2000 is one of the finest Frederic Emile since this cuvee was made in 1967.

Other vintages available 2003 £45.00 and 2001 £55.00.

Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile Vendanges Tardives 2000 £75.00
This 2000 joins the very select ranks of 1976, 1983, 1989, and 1990 the only other Frederic Emile produced in the last 30 years.The grapes remained on the vines for two weeks after the dry Riesling harvest was completed. With lovely fruits and fragance, gentle sweetness and polished acidity this remarkable Riesling can be enjoyed now and will continue for an other 20 years.

Pinot Gris Reserve personelle 2000 £45.00
From the Grand Cru Ostertag almost ripe enough to be a vendanges tardives, this sensuous reserve personelle 2000 shows the full range of aromas and creamy texture that are the hallmarks of the finest Pinot Gris. While slightly lower in acidity than some of the other 2000’s the wine has still remarkable balance and purity.Ready to enjoy now and for another 15 years.

Pinot Gris Hommage a Jeanne 2000 £75.00
One of the finest vintages ever for Pinot Gris in Alsace 2000 produced top quality grapes with both ripe sugars and vibrant acidity.Bernard and Pierre Trimbach created the wine to honor their mother and grandmother’s 100th birthday, May 15th 2000.Its wide range of flavours already covers the palate with striking richness and opulence that will continue to develop for another decade.

Pinot Noir Trimbach 2002 £24.00
This wine is quite clear and crimson red color showing great vibrancy. The nose is very powerful with strawberries and prunes with a vegetal undertone .In the mouth there are some nice soft tannins, good ripe berry fruits and rounded fresh finish. A classic Pinot noir.

Some Wine to discover

Organic Muscadet Sur Lie 2005 £22.00
Jo Landron is regarded as the best winemaker in the muscadet area. 35 years old vine benefits from ideal southerly exposure and a unique quartz and flint rich terroir. The terroir is grown organically following bio dynamic principals using no pesticide or chemicals.
Les fief de briel is aged 12 months on his lees to gain complexity and richness.It reveals great minerality and an almost creamy texture on the palate.
Enjoy with fish shellfish or poultry.

Santa Rosa Viognier Argentina Mendoza £22.00
An un-oaked fresh viognier with a rich full palate. Aromatic and floral on the nose with a full bodied texture.

Domaine Brial Blanc Cote du Roussillon 2008 £22.00
This wine is a blend of the principal white grape varieties of the area, Grenache Blanc, Malvasia, and Macabeo. Aromatic fresh and fruity this wine is an ideal partner to fish Shellfish or just on is own.
