About

A new selection “parcellaire” of carefully chosen plots of the Famille Hugel estate situated in Riquewihr in its most prestigious 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, this Riesling is the Pinot Noir of white wines! It is our most demanding variety as it is also the latest ripening. Dry and elegant, it expresses itself best on our steepest slopes with the most complex minerality

Terroir

Selection “parcellaire” of some of the best plots within the Hugel family estate in Riquewihr in its most prestigious crus. A very clear dominance of the Schoenenbourg character with its unique marly character

Vinification

The grapes are taken in small tubs to the presses, which are filled by gravity, without any pumping or other mechanical intervention. After pressing, the must is decanted for a few hours, then fermented in temperature-controlled barrels or vats (at 18 to 24°C). The wine is racked just once, before natural clarification during the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered just before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in our cellars until released for sale. The whole production of this wine is closed with DIAM the cork without the risk of cork taint

Tasting Notes

A sparkling robe with pale yellow highlights. The aromas are open and generous, just like those of a Riesling at the height of age, dashing with a sound footing that reveals an aristocratic origin. This wine comes from the finest marl soils of the Riquewihr, giving it a unique saline and full-bodied attack on the palate: you know what you are getting right from the start. The elegant, profound, complex and well-balanced flavour is perfectly structured over time by its beautifully mature acidity from which there is no sweetness to distract. This is a dry white wine.

This Riesling is the ideal partner to fish and seafood as well strong cheeses and BBQ
