Hugel
About Hugel
Crafting the most fabulous Rieslings in Alsace since 1638, Famille Hugel have had more than enough time to utterly perfect the cultivation and vinification of the most noble white varietal on Earth. Indeed, almost four centuries is long enough to become rather familiar with their terroir, and it is a testament to this family-owned property that their wines display a remarkable lightness of touch and forward-thinking character, far from being dulled by the weight of history.

Vinous (94)Luminous straw-green. Knockout nose of fresh and dried fruits, marzipan, honey, lychee and white flowers. Clean, fresh and juicy, offering flavors of fruit salad and fresh citrus complicated by almond milk and floral nuances. Deceptively easy to drink but very dense and deep, showcasing lovely balance (7.2 g/L total acidity, 13.6% alcohol and 8 g/L r.s.) and nicely combining Mosel-like floral daintiness and Schonenbourg power. You’d never guess this was made in a hot year like 2009. Finishes very long and vibrant, with ripe acidity typical of this site. This is the third vintage of the Schoelhammer to be released and it is hands-down not just my favorite, but also by far the best, purest and most precise wine of the three. Delicious. |
