Trimbach Réserve Riesling 2019 is a benchmark Alsace Riesling from one of the region’s most iconic and historic houses — dry, precise and built around the pure, mineral character that defines great Alsatian Riesling.

Trimbach has been making wine in Alsace since 1626. The Réserve is their signature expression — a wine that consistently delivers elegance, focus and exceptional food versatility.

My Wine Man

This is for someone who wants a genuinely dry, complex white wine with real depth and character.

Alsace Riesling is one of the most misunderstood wine styles in the world — many people assume Riesling is sweet, but Trimbach Réserve is bone dry, mineral and structured. It’s a wine for people who love precision.

In my view, this is one of the best expressions of dry Riesling available at this price — elegant, food-driven and built to age.

What makes this wine stand out

This is all about purity and mineral tension.

Lime, green apple, white peach and a distinctive petrol note — the hallmark of great aged Riesling — sit over a clean, stony mineral backbone.

The defining feature is the acidity — bright, focused and precise, giving the wine extraordinary length and the structure to age gracefully for many years.

Completely dry. Completely compelling.

Style / drinking window

Medium-bodied with lime, green apple, white peach and mineral notes.

Crisp, focused acidity provides tension, length and a clean, dry finish.

Drinking well now, with excellent medium to long-term ageing potential through the late 2020s and beyond.

Why this is a smart buy

If you want a serious, dry white wine with genuine complexity and ageing potential, this is a standout.

It delivers:

• one of Alsace’s most trusted and historic producers
• bone dry, mineral Riesling style

Looking for a different style or step up?

• Trimbach Cuvée Frédéric Émile Riesling 2013 → same producer / top tier / more complex and age-worthy
• Domaine William Fevre Chablis 2022 → similar dry mineral style / Chardonnay
• Simonnet Febvre Petit Chablis 2022 → lighter / more everyday / great value

Life’s too short for bad wine.
