Hugel
This is the signature wine of Famille Hugel. This dry Riesling stands out for its finesse and sincerity, making it the ideal partner for fish and seafood, thanks to its wonderful balance and elegance.
In the vineyard: Riesling is the Pinot Noir of white wines! It is our most demanding variety, as it is also the last to ripen. Produced exclusively from hand-harvested grapes from 30-year-old vines planted in predominantly clay and limestone soils, in the most favored locations in and around Riquewihr. Dry and elegant, it expresses itself best on our steepest slopes, with the most complex minerality.
Winemaking: The grapes are transported in small boxes 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 and then fermented in temperature-controlled barrels or tanks (at 18 to 24 °C). The wine is racked only once, before natural clarification during the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in our cellars until released for sale. The entire production of this wine is sealed with DIAM, the cork that eliminates the risk of cork taint.
Ideal for pairing with dishes such as fish ceviche, mackerel, pickled herring, seafood, shrimp carpaccio, scallops, marinated salmon, smoked trout, goat cheese, and charcuterie. If served after two years, it pairs well with creamy sauces, gratinated seafood, cooked poultry, and vol-au-vent.
