Julien Schaal Alsace Grand Cru ‘Rosacker’ Riesling 2023

R413.00

Region: Alcase

Tasting note:

“Like Clos Ste-Hune, grown to the north of Hunawihr on Muschelkalk and Lettenkhole parent rock with limestone soils that are rich in minerals and promote good water retention. Faces east and south-east at 260–330 m. Certified organic. Racy with massive energy and drive. Is it autosuggestion to see a slight floral element to this beautiful, dry Riesling? Really very long with noticeable grip. A mineral undertow rounds out a seriously complex wine. 18/20″ – Jancis Robinson MW

Julien Schaal have now moved into their new Hunawihr winery, overlooking Clos St. Hune. The Julien Schaal label reserved for the range of Grands Crus. All the wines are hand-harvested, slowly whole-bunch pressed, then settled without any addition of sulphur dioxide so the solids oxidise. Wines ferment spontaneously and are racked off gross lees once the ferment is finished. The wines stay on fine lees with a little batonnage to extract mannoproteins from the lees. They prefer to balance acidity with mouthfeel rather than sweetness and also prefer to prevent malolactic conversion.

​GEOLOGY: Resting upon soils of Keuper marl, dolomite rock, and gypsum, these grounds are abundant in enriching elements that boast excellent water retention properties. They provide Riesling wines with additional structure and depth, as well as flavors of ripe fruit, and stone fruits with delicate acidity.
