Riesling Grand Cru Wiebelsberg 'Grès' Schaal 2023

Julien Schaal's Riesling Grand Cru Wiebelsberg 'Grès' is made from grapes grown in a single vineyard north of the town of Andlau in Alsace. Here, the vines grow on sandstone-rich soils, with optimal exposure to sunlight and good protection from the cold north winds. All this is reflected in elegant and complex Rieslings with a long, salty finish. On the nose, Julien Schaal's Grand Cru opens with hints of fruit and white flowers, with marked citrus sensations and typical flinty notes on the finish. On the palate, it has a lively freshness and a persistent minerality that lengthens the finish. Perfect with fish dishes, including Asian cuisine such as Gong Bao chicken

RIESLING GRAND CRU WIEBELSBERG 'GRÈS' SCHAAL 2023 DESCRIPTION

Colour

Bright straw yellow

Scent

Intense, with hints of white peach and lemon balm, notes of lime and grapefruit zest, hints of flint and a salty finish

Taste

Vertical, with a distinct freshness and a very persistent savoury finish

Temperature
8°-10°C
When to open
To enjoy it at its best, we recommend you to let the wine 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine with a great longevity, already remarkable if you drink it now, but we suggest to let it rest in your cellar to best appreciate the great qualities that will mature over time
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied white wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can leave it to rest in the cellar for over 5 years
