Description
Domaine Trapet comprises some of the best Grand Crus vineyards in Alsace. Like their Burgundy relatives, the wines are all about finesse and elegance. They are characterised by purity, solidity, minerality, density like a diamond, viscosity, and verticality, and everything is wrapped by delicacy and softness.

Tasting Note
This Riesling has floral and stony aromas with lemony notes and a lovely mineral influence. With age, the mineral content is enhanced, and the wine acquires a smooth, sweet note.
Food Pairing
It goes remarkably well with Thai and oriental food. The weight of the wine, the power of its fruit, and its good acidity will all stand up to the more fragrant dishes of the East, matching the herbs, the spices, and the creamy coconut if needed. Also good with blue cheeses and creamy goat’s cheeses.
