Description
Schoenenbourg is a relatively large Grand Cru vineyard at 53 hectares and has a very complicated terroir. The base is marl with gypsum stones called Keuper and Vosges sandstone plus fine layers of Muschelkalk (seashells), with a sub-soil rich in minerals. It faces due south at Riquewihr and south-east closer to Zellenberg. Riesling here is the ideal wine variety for great dry wines as well as superb Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles.
The dry Rieslings tend to be rather austere in their youth but later they can become superb.
