Hugel Riesling Classic

Grapes: Riesling.

Character: A fresh and fruity white wine from Alsace. Nuanced, very fresh flavor with hints of lemongrass, white peach and pistachios. A well-structured wine with clear minerality. 

Goes well with: Excellent with rich dishes, gratinated shellfish and light meats. Best served at 10°C.

About the wine: 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 vats (at 18°C to 24°C). The wine is racked just once, before natural clarification during the course of 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.
