Hugel Riesling is known as the "Pinot Noir" of white wines, revered for its depth, elegance, and exceptional minerality. Ripened slowly, Riesling is a demanding grape that, in the hands of the Hugel family, is transformed into a true art form. The sublime expression of the terroir shines through in Hugel Riesling, a testament to their uncompromising commitment to quality.
The Heritage of Hugel in the Heart of Alsace
Since 1639, when the first Hugel settled in picturesque Riquewihr, Hugel has remained an unbroken family business. Today, Jean Philippe and Marc Hugel, representatives of the eleventh generation, continue the tradition. With over 25 hectares on Riquewihr's most coveted slopes and contracts for an additional 100 hectares of equally impressive quality, Hugel selects only hand-harvested grapes. These grapes, from vines with an average age of thirty years, benefit from Alsace's unique microclimate. Shielded by the Vosges Mountains and free from sea breezes, these grapes ripen slowly, giving Hugel Riesling its characteristic refinement and intensity.The Careful Production of Hugel Riesling
The vines for Hugel Riesling are strategically placed on the steepest slopes, rich in complex minerals. Each grape is hand-picked and then carefully transported to the press, where gravity assists in the slow pressing process. Only the very best juice is selected for Hugel Riesling. After pressing, the must rests, after which the wine matures in barrels at eighteen degrees Celsius. After natural fining during the winter, the Hugel Riesling is lightly filtered and bottled in the spring, after which aging continues in the cellar.The Distinctive Taste of Hugel Riesling Classic
The Hugel Riesling Classic seduces with a refreshing aroma, rich with flowers, citrus, apple, and a hint of peach. These enchanting aromas find their way into the palate, resulting in a lively, slightly dry wine overflowing with white and yellow fruit. This Hugel Riesling Classic is undeniably an Alsatian wine that leaves a lasting impression.Product details
