The granite soils of Sommerberg, steeped in centuries-old tradition, give the wine an impressive intensity of lime aromas, subtly framed with a hint of honey. This is not just any wine; it's a passionate wine, delightfully dry, with balanced acidity.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Riesling grapes from the steep Sommerberg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The Riesling grapes for this wine come from the Sommerberg vineyard, located on a particularly steep slope. This vineyard is over 45 years old and lies at an altitude of over 400 meters. The soil is primarily granite with black and white mica, resulting in a soil rich in mineral elements. This specific soil composition provides an ideal terroir for viticulture, allowing the grapes to develop unique characteristics that will later be reflected in the wine.\n\n\n \nAt peak ripeness, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand, carefully sorted, and then sent to a pneumatic press. After pressing, the juice undergoes slow, cold decantation, followed by a prolonged alcoholic fermentation that can last up to four months. A notable aspect of the vinification process is that no sulfur is added until the following spring. This contributes to the wine's openness and reduces its susceptibility to oxidation, resulting in a much more aromatic wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy the aromatic Julien Schaal Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg Granite\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAnd these aromas certainly shine through.
