Winemaking Hugel Classic Riesling 2021 is crafted in the heart of Alsace by one of the region’s most respected family domaines. Grown on limestone and clay slopes around Riquewihr, the grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed, with a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness and precision. This is a dry Riesling in the true Alsatian tradition—clean, structured, and full of regional character.
Bouquet Fresh and floral with aromas of lime blossom, green apple and white peach. Subtle notes of citrus zest, flint and wild herbs bring clarity and complexity.
Palate Dry, linear and focused, the palate reveals citrus, stone fruit and crushed mineral with racy acidity and a saline edge. Elegant and precise, it finishes long, clean and mouth-watering.
Food Pairing A natural match with shellfish, grilled white fish, sauerkraut or tarte flambée. Also pairs beautifully with spicy Asian dishes, goat cheese or lemon roast chicken.
Cellaring Enjoy now or cellar for 5–8 years to develop honeyed notes and deeper savoury complexity.
Interesting Fact Hugel has been producing wine in Alsace since 1639, and their Classic Riesling is considered a benchmark for dry French Riesling—served in top restaurants across the globe.
