Maison Trimbach (F. E. Trimbach) is a winery located in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, France. Trimbach produces many of its high-end wines from its own vineyards, but also operates a négociant business which buys grapes to produce additional wines. The company is especially noted for its high-end dry Riesling wines produced in a traditional Alsace wine style.[http://www.thewinedoctor.com/tastingsprofile/trimbach.shtml The Wine Doctor: Trimbach], accessed on June 11, 2009
