2024 Sophie Schaal Riesling Dry

Vins Julien & Sophie Schaal

Alsace

Pale straw with green hues, aromatic nose with orange blossom, lime zest and ripe tropical fruits intertwined with ints of wet stone and white peach. Zesty citrus palate, with lemon curd and crisp green apple. Refined minerality of crushed slate with a natural acidity.


Viticulture

Grown on granite to limestone soils, with clay, shale and sandstone. A patchwork of terroir, ideal for Riesling. Organic practices in the vineyard to preserve the balance of the ecosystem. No synthetic chemicals or pesticides are used. Picked by hand.


Vinification

Whole bunch pressed, transferred to tank for static settling. Natural fermentation for up to 3 months


Recommendation

Enjoy as an aperitif, or with seafood, shellfish and white fish. Enhances citrus or garlic-based sauces.
