From granite de Tannenkirch soils, the 2021 Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg is from a 1.6-hectare plot on horizontal terraces in the highest altitude of the Schlossberg. The 2021 opens with a clear and quite intense, warm and concentrated nose of fully ripe and fleshy yet less juicy fruits whose flavors intermingle with herbal and rocky notes. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a refined and persistently saline, very long yet certainly not powerful and possibly also less complex and textural Riesling compared to the other Trimbach grands crus. The finish is a bit austere at this stage. In 2021, the vineyard had been cultivated for 10 years by Trimbach, and it might be the terroir, but this is the leanest and most austere of the family's Rieslings, at least at this early stage. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
