Vintage Report

Het oogstjaar 2024 is te recent voor een definitief vintage rapport van Robert Parker. De wijn is nog zeer jong en moet zich nog verder ontwikkelen.

This Rosacker Calcaire Riesling is a special wine that takes you back to the year 1483. This renowned Grand Cru vineyard in Alsace has earned its place in wine legend, and you can taste it in every sip of Julien Schaal's Riesling Grand Cru Rosacker Calcaire. The name "Rosacker" is no coincidence. The vineyard is embraced by wild roses, which bloom in abundance along the edges. But don't be fooled by the tenderness of the name; the wines that thrive here are exceptionally powerful.

Manual harvest for Julien Schaal Riesling Grand Cru Rosacker Calcaire

The Rosacker vineyard is steeped in history and is dominated by limestone-rich soil. It features various colored marls and compact dolomites. This complexity of soil composition makes the site exceptionally nutrient-rich, enriched with calcium and magnesium. This unique soil contributes to the expression of the Riesling grapes that thrive here. This exceptional vineyard is 40 years old and lies at an altitude of between 260 and 330 meters. Its location contributes to the optimal ripening of the grapes, allowing them to develop the essential characteristics that give this wine its unique character. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and carefully selected. They are then transported to the pneumatic press, where a prolonged pressing process takes place. After clarification at low temperatures, the juice begins its journey through prolonged alcoholic fermentation using wild yeasts. This natural process can last up to four months, giving the wine time to develop its complexity and depth.

The balanced taste of Julien Schaal Riesling Grand Cru Rosacker Calcaire

The Riesling Grand Cru Rosacker Calcaire is a complex wine with a clean, taut character. The nose reveals aromas of herbs, apricot, lime, and pear, which beautifully complement each other. A hint of mandarin adds a refreshing touch to this Riesling. The palate offers a complex flavor experience with vibrant acidity that balances it beautifully.
