2023 Sophie Schaal Gewurztraminer

Vins Julien & Sophie Schaal

Alsace

Light gold in colour, with aromas of lychee and tropical fruits with ginger and cardamom spice. Rich palate with tropical fruit - pineapple, mango and passion fruit, balanced with a refreshing acidity.


Viticulture

Limestone soils provide excellent drainage while retaining essential minerals, encouraging deep root growth. Organic practices were used to preserve the balance of the ecosystem. No synthetic chemicals of pesticides used.


Vinification

Grapes are whole bunch pressed, then transferred to tank for static settling. Natural fermentation for up to three months


Recommendation

Seve with spiced Asian cuisine - the aromatic spices complement the floral notes of the Gewurztraminer. A carefully selected board of washed-rind cheese like Munster and Epoisses, or a perfectly ripe Brie will enhance the aromatic complexity of the wine.
