Gold with green-gold tints. Reminiscent of white flowers, cumquat, honeycomb, hints of marzipan, nutmeg and cardamom spice. Luscious and intense, flavours of dried citrus, fresh apricots, lavender and fresh honey are complemented by fine mineral acidity.

Vibrant mouth feel and tingling natural acidity give this characterful wine tension and balance

A very fresh yellow, pale green with dominant hints of green with lighter hints of the pale yellow of lime trees in spring, some silver, crystalline highlights, a pleasant energetic sheen, full and lively legs. The aroma is still a bit restrained and serious but with the fresh, clear, precise and well stated fruitiness of lime, fresh kiwi, lemongrass, gooseberry, fresh moss and a lightly mineral flinty nuance. On the palate this is a dry, refreshing and lively wine with a pleasant sense of tension and vivacity which enlivens the palate, it's rounded and full flavour amply quenches the thirst.

On the palate it is clearly a dry Riesling of the highest quality with a full, broad, juicy and strong structure, complimented with a wonderful astringency which adds length and character to the flavour. There is also a remarkably harmonious after-taste.

Schoelhammer 2009 embodies the expertise acquired by the Hugel Family since 1639. We have always sought out the purest and most natural expression of each noble Alsace grape variety that we grow in our historic vineyard estates around Riquewihr.

On the palate, the Famille Hugel Riesling Classic 2020 is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of green apple, grapefruit, and a touch of minerality. This wine has a bright acidity that makes it a perfect pairing for a variety of dishes, including shellfish, sushi, and spicy Thai cuisine.

Stone, mineral and white floral aromas, moving into white peach and citrus notes with intensified florals, citrus juice flavours and a long, concentrated finish.
