Hugel & Fils Alsace Classic Riesling 2023

Dry still white wine from Alsace AOC, 12% ABV, produced by Hugel & Fils, founded in 1639. 100% Riesling. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A Riesling that embodies the tradition and excellence of Alsatian viticulture. The grapes are harvested in small press tanks, which are filled by gravity, without pumping or other mechanical intervention. After pressing, the must is decanted for a few hours, then fermented in barriques or vats at a controlled temperature (18-24°C). The wine is racked only once, before natural clarification over the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered shortly before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in our cellars until release. Fruity aromas with notes of lime, kiwi, and light mineral nuances. Pale yellow with greenish reflections. On the palate it is well structured, with a fresh and dry sip.
