The Trimbachs, who sell 45% of their wine in the U.S. market, report that pinot gris is now their biggest seller. According to winemaker Pierre Trimbach, yields were high in '99 and '97, with 2000 more moderate, like 1998; production of gewurztraminer was especially low in 2000, he added. Acidity levels were roughly similar in '99 and '00, but the fruit in 2000 began with a bit more sugar. Some of the estate 2000 tokays, most of which were picked in the second half of September before the worst of the rains, came in with record levels of potential alcohol. Even the Trimbachs' tokay SGNs were from fruit harvested at the end of September and beginning of October. "Only the latest-picked stuff was vulnerable to gray rot," noted Pierre. "We love the hot years," noted export director Jean Trimbach, "because we always have a lot of acidity here, much more than in vineyards farther south."
