From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

In the picturesque Alsace wine region, where unique soil types such as pink sandstone, blue slate, limestone, granite, and volcanic rock converge, Sophie and Julien Schaal create an exceptional Gewürztraminer with their boutique winery. Sophie Schaal Alsace Gewürztraminer is more than just a wine; it is a carefully cultivated expression of Alsace's rich terroirs. Each bottle tells the story of their dedication and innovative approach, which began in 2011 by dedicating their vineyards exclusively to Grands Crus wines. This approach results in wines each with a deep, individual character, as evidenced by the refined quality of this Gewürztraminer.

This Gewürztraminer sparkles in the glass with a brilliant golden color, immediately captivating the senses. The nose is captivated by delicate floral notes of rose petals and jasmine, followed by the enticing aromas of lychee and ripe tropical fruits that enhance the aromatic profile. These fragrant characteristics are carefully developed through the hand selection of the grapes, a gentle pressing of at least 12 hours, and a slow, cool natural fermentation that can last up to three months. By eliminating sulfur during vinification, the wine retains its maximum aromatic potential and is less susceptible to oxidation.

The rich and complex flavor of the Sophie Schaal Gewurztraminer makes it an excellent partner for dishes featuring aromatic spices and creamy coconut milk, such as a Thai curry. The wine's opulent, fruity, and floral notes harmonize beautifully with the exotic and spicy elements of the dish, making every sip a journey of discovery into new flavor dimensions. This makes the Sophie Schaal Alsace Gewurztraminer not only a pleasure to drink but also a wonderful addition to any culinary experience. A perfect example of how a great wine has the power to both enrich the spirit and elevate the meal.
