Famille Hugel Alsace Riesling Estate 2019

$4299

Hugel has been making wine in Riquewihr since 1639 — twelve generations of one of Alsace's foundational families. The Estate Riesling is a step above their Classic bottling, drawn from carefully chosen parcels including grand cru sites like Schoenenbourg and a touch of Sporen. 2019 was an exceptional vintage in Alsace, and the wine reflects it: beautifully dry (around 3 g/L residual sugar), saline and mineral, with a smoky-earthy edge and ripe citrus core. Classic Hugel — built for the table.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Riesling Estate was made from about 60% of grand cru grapes, essentially the young vines from Schoenenbourg and a tiny bit of Sporen plus old vines of the estate. It has an earthy, smoky nose with a touch of pineapple. The palate has already started to become more viscous, intensifying the pineapple note and refining it with ripe orange zest. This is a dollop of deliciousness, dripping with fruit but also zesty. Rounded, smooth, rich, yet focused. There are just 3.2g/L of residual sweetness - so this is beautifully dry." —Anne Krebiehl MW
