JULIEN SCHAAL RIESLING GRAND CRU 'GRANITE' SOMMERBERG

Region: Alsace, France

Varietal: Riesling - Dry

Notable Years: 2016 - 2018

Price: $25+

Tasting Notes: Bone dry riesling from Alsace.  Enticing floral and citrus zest on the nose. Not exactly a wine that’s incredibly balanced on the palate but maintains a unique elegance that keeps you wanting more. It’s ripe, rich, and full-bodied, with concentrated flavors of lemon zest, green apple, almond, and a touch of honey.  Long finish that carries lemon all the way through the end. 

Pairings: Cheese and Charcuterie Boards, Delicata Squash + Brussels Sprout Salad, Pastured Rosemary Turkey Breast
