Julian Schaal Grand Cru Rosacker Riesling - Alsace, France
Producer's Notes:
A pale to medium lemon color, reflecting its youth and vibrancy, this Alsatian white wine offers intense aromas of lime, lemon, and grapefruit. The subtle mineral undertone reflects the unique terroir of Rosacker, and the first sip reveals a bright and lively acidity, a hallmark of Riesling.
What We Say:
The Grand Cru Rosacker spans an expansive land along the north side of the village of Hunawihr, sitting at elevations ranging from 260 to 330 meters. The east/south-east-facing hillside opens a window to the spectacular view of the Alsace plain. The grapes undergo manual harvesting and are pressed whole bunch, with a prolonged, gentle pressing. Cool, natural fermentation extends for up to three months, followed by several months of aging. All of this helps preserve the wine's character, authenticity, and the aromas and freshness naturally present in the wine.
Grape Varietal: Riesling
Style: White - Bone-dry, medium-bodied, rich, mouth-filling texture, juicy, and vibrant
Perfect For: Fresh oysters, crab, scallops, ceviche, sashimi, monkfish, swordfish, and tarte flambée or choucroute
An exceptionally pure, bone-dry Alsatian white wine that balances vibrant citrus and stone fruit layers with a razor-sharp acidity and a deeply structured, limestone-driven minerality.
