Riesling Classic Alsace AOC 2018 - Hugel & Fils
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
The Riesling Classic AOC Alsace by Hugel & Fils presents itself in a lively youthful, radiant bright green color of good depth and intensity. On the nose, the bouquet is still somewhat reserved, fruit notes of lime, fresh kiwi, lemongrass, mirabelles and reneclauden are recognizable, light mineral nuances in the background. On the palate this classic Alsace Riesling presents itself dry, fresh and lively with a lush structure. The finish is long, with the varietal fruity-fresh finish.
Vinification of Riesling Classic from Hugel & Fils
After the manual harvest the grapes for this Riesling are pneumatically pressed. The must is placed in wooden barrels or tanks after a static clarification of about 12 hours, then the temperature-controlled fermentation takes place. Before bottling in spring, the wine is lightly and carefully filtered and matures in the bottle in the cellar before it is put into sale.
Food pairing for the Riesling Classic by Hugel & Fils
