SUMMARY:Julien Schaal talking Alsace and Cool Climate
DESCRIPTION:Julien and Sophie Schaal is all about Grand Cru Riesling Vineyards in Alsace.\nAll three of Julien Schaal’s Rieslings are made in the exact same way however they all come from different soil types in the Alsace region. \nAll grapes undergo manual harvesting and are then pressed as whole bunch. After a prolonged and gentle pressing\, the juice is moved to tanks for a delicate static settling process. The gradual\, cool\, natural fermentation extends for up to three months\, followed by several months of aging. These meticulous steps contribute to capturing and preserving the authentic “sense of place”. They consistently aim to prevent malolactic fermentation to safeguard the aromas and inherent freshness naturally present in the wine. \nThey have also been producing wines from the Cape South Coast region of South Africa since 2005. Julien fell in love with South Africa when he worked as a cellarhand in the early 2000’s and returns multiple times a year to produce his wines. He has worked with some of the top producers of the region: Paul Cluver\, Newton-Johnson\, John Seccombe over the years. This has allowed him to not only learn a great deal about the local terroir\, but has given him access to some of the Overberg’s best fruit with which to work. \nJoin us as we learn more about Alsace from Julien and also explore his South African wines.\nWines to be tasted on the night: \nSommerberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling on Granite 2023\nRosacker Alsace Grand Cru Riesling on Calcaire 2023\nSchoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling on Gypse 2023 \nMountain Vineyards Chardonnay 2023\nEvidence Chardonnay 2023\nMountain Vineyards Pinot Noir 2024\nInfluence Pinot Noir 2023 \nSeats will be limited\, booking is therefor essential.
