Product Notes

Famille Hugel Classic Riesling is an elegantly crafted wine hailing from the picturesque region of Alsace, France. This exquisite white carries a radiant pale-yellow hue; its delightful aroma lures with prominent apple, floral, and citrus notes, which is well-balanced by a dash of minerality. True to its Riesling roots, the wine honours the palate with a crisp, zesty taste, beautifully underpinned by nuances of stone fruits and high acidity. With a dry and subtly sweet finish, it is excellent for pairings with seafood or a creamy risotto. The Hugel Classic Riesling promises a fruit-forward, harmonious, and undeniably refreshing experience.

Tasting Notes

A dashing, youthful pale green robe with dominant hints of green, light green, lime tree foliage, sparkling and crystalline with a nice shimmer and elegant thread-like legs.A deliciously aromatic expression with the nice fruitiness and youthful freshness of cool moss, white peach, lemongrass, lemon-verbena, pistachio.On the palate this is a nice reflection of the Classic Riesling grape variety, dashing and dry without being too hard, thirst-quenching, flavoursome, energetic and well-structured with a strong personality combined with a crystalline and full-flavoured finale and that perfect touch of minerality.
