Trimbach Gewurztraminer Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre
Alsace, France
About this product
The Trimbach house style for Gewurztraminer follows the same philosophy as their Riesling: dry, precise, and food-driven rather than cloying and sweet. Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre represents old-vine parcels from Ribeauville and is notable for being genuinely dry (under 10g RS) — rare in Gewurztraminer. Rose petal, lychee, and spice without the heaviness typical of the variety.

Munster (the pungent washed-rind cheese of Alsace) and Gewurztraminer is one of France's most famous cheese-wine pairings. The wine's rose-lychee aromatics and off-dry richness counter the cheese's barnyard intensity; the cumin seeds mirror the spice in the wine.

Gewurztraminer's oriental spice-lychee character is an extraordinary bridge to five-spice duck preparations; the wine's rose petal adds a floral dimension that lifts the lacquer's sweetness

Gewurztraminer's aromatic intensity is one of the few styles that can match a very ripe Munster's pungency through aromatic rather than acid power; rose petal bridges the cheese's cream

Gewurztraminer and Thai curry is the most well-established cross-cultural pairing in wine education; the wine's lychee-ginger-rose petal harmonises with the curry's galangal-lemongrass-coconut; both are in the tropical-floral register
