Julien Schaal ‘Schoenenbourg’ Riesling 2024

R395.00

Schoenenbourg is the broadest and most generous of the three.

The vineyard sits above Riquewihr on soils containing marl, dolomite and gypsum. These soils hold water well and tend to produce Rieslings with greater depth and weight.

There is more ripe fruit here, with citrus, peach and floral notes carried by a fuller palate. The acidity keeps everything fresh, but the wine has a sense of richness and scale that separates it from Rosacker.

If Rosacker is about precision, Schoenenbourg is about presence.

95 points, Vinous
Drinking window: 2026–2056

Grown on gypsum and marl, Schoenenbourg is the broadest and most generous of the three.

The wine is expansive, lemony and bright, with a creamy texture and greater depth through the palate. It remains balanced and composed, finishing with citrus, gentle pithiness and freshness.
