Frankly, it’s a mystery to me how Schaal manages such quality and Burgundian style in the cool climate of Elgin…or why nobody else seems to. (Though Hamilton Russell comes close.)

As much as I love Schaal’s Grand Cru Rieslings – and again, I do – THIS is the wine that best illustrates his sheer artistry and brilliance. 



From the winery:

Tangy, tart, sour plums and green apples combine with a creamy, mealy note. Perhaps picked young and then given some malolactic fermentation. This is an attempt at serious Chablis that provides a satisfying alternative.
