Hugel Estate Riesling

75cl / 12%

Hugel’s redesigned Estate Riesling (formerly labelled as ‘Tradition’) is made with grapes mostly from the grand cru Schoenenbourg site in Riquewihr, which has the ability to retain freshness even in warmer vintages.

Ripe with balanced acidity and complex minerality, this is an Alsace classic.

About the Hugel Estate Riesling

The wines in the ‘Estate’ range epitomise the true expression of the great terroirs of Riquewihr and come entirely from selected plots on the family estate.

A new selection “parcellaire” of carefully chosen plots of the Famille Hugel estate situated in Riquewihr crus. Most of the plots chosen for this new wine are being converted into Organic viticulture. The unique marl soils of Riquewihr, in and around the Schoenenbourg give a characteristic minerality to wines from this remarkable terroir. A wine of depth and of patience.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Very attractive to the eye with a nice and intense density, straw and lemon yellow with plenty of wonderful brightness and silvery sparkle over tight and sophisticatedly smooth legs.
Nose: Aromas of spring flowers, Granny Smith apples, white peaches, lilies and acacia blossoms. Generous and complex with an attractive purity in its expression, well-stated and full-flavoured with a nice harmony between the fruity aroma and an excellent minerality.
Palate: On the palate it leaves a sensation of fullness with all of the strength and lively noble temperament of the Riesling grape variety and its region’s river bed clay soil that guarantees its generosity, body and wonderful structure leaving a nice, full and long lasting finish. Best served at 8°C as an excellent aperitif or paired with Sea fish; roast turbot, ray in butter, king prawns and lobster, smoked eel , veal blanquette or roast pork.

History of Hugel

Hugel & Fils, founded in 1639 in picturesque Riquewihr, Alsace, France, is still 100% family owned and managed by the 12th consecutive generation of the family. Vines have been cultivated in Alsace for more than 2,000 years and have brought great prosperity to the region.
