2012 F.E. Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte Hune 0,75 Liter

The F.E. Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte Hune 2012 is a legendary dry Riesling from Alsace, sourced from the historic Clos Sainte Hune vineyard, a 1.67-hectare monopole owned by Trimbach for over 200 years. Grown in limestone and sandstone soils, this 2012 vintage displays a pale gold hue and a refined nose of green apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and wet stone, with a subtle petrol note from aging. On the palate, it is precise and vibrant, with a concentrated fruit core, racy acidity, and a steely mineral backbone, culminating in a long, dry finish. This wine’s meticulous craftsmanship and low yields ensure exceptional quality and aging potential. It pairs beautifully with seafood, white meats, or Alsatian dishes like choucroute garnie, offering elegance and versatility. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve over the next 15-20 years, making it a must-have for Riesling collectors and enthusiasts.
