Expert Reviews

The 1999 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile reveals a racy, liquid mineral and lime-scented nose. It is light-bodied, highly-delineated, and displays good depth of stone, lemon, and quartz-like flavors. This highly-focused, tightly-wound, laser-like wine will require 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010.- The Wine Advocate

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

On the palate, the 1999 Cuvée Frédéric Émile Riesling is medium to full-bodied, with a striking balance between richness and vibrant acidity. The acidity remains lively, which is one of the hallmarks of Riesling, especially those from Alsace, ensuring the wine retains its freshness and energy despite its age.

Flavors of citrus fruits, particularly lemon and lime zest, are still present but have taken on a more dried, marmalade-like quality. The honeyed notes from the nose come through on the palate, alongside dried fruits such as apricot and orange peel. A subtle sweetness is balanced beautifully by the wine's acidity, creating a harmonious and refined mouthfeel.

The minerality shines through as well, with flinty and stony characteristics adding an extra layer of depth to the wine. As the wine evolves in the glass, you may also detect a light petrol note, which is typical of older Riesling, but it is not overwhelming and only adds to the wine's complexity. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of citrus, honey, and a mineral backbone that keeps the wine refreshing and vibrant despite its maturity.

Today, the family vineyard is led by Hubert Trimbach, nephews John and Peter, and his daughter Anne, the eldest of the 13th generation.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
