Riesling Cuvée Fréderic Emile 37.5cl 2013, Trimbach

The grapes are always picked by hand as late as possible in order to achieve maximum ripeness and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice runs into the cellar by gravity and clarifies naturally prior to fermentation. The juice ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature for 3-4 weeks. The wine is vinified to complete dryness. It is not oak-aged as we believe that wood gives nothing to the wines, the salient characteristics of which are extreme purity and concentrated fruit. ” Cuvée Frédéric Emile ” Riesling needs 3 to 5 years to blossom and usually ages minimum 15 year
