Hugel Classic Riesling 2023
Hugel Classic Riesling is a dry, elegant white wine from the Alsace region of France, representing the signature style of the Famille Hugel estate. Established in 1639 in the historic village of Riquewihr, the winery has been managed by 13 generations of the Hugel family, including current leaders like Jean-Frédéric Hugel. The estate's winemaking philosophy focuses on capturing pure varietal character and unique terroir through minimal intervention and a 'vineyard up' approach, pioneering legislation for Alsace noble grapes and late harvest wines.
Wine Description
This 100% Riesling is a pale straw colour with bright green highlights. The sensory profile is fresh and expressive, opening with dashed floral aromas of lily of the valley and elderflower alongside lively citrus zest, spring flowers, and meadows. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, lithe, and energetic, displaying crisp flavours of lemon, lime, yuzu, and green apple with subtle hints of pear. It features a 'detonating' energy and high, frisky acidity that leads to a long, mineral-laced finish with notes of wet slate and stone fruit.
