Product Notes

The Famille Hugel Classic Riesling is a distinguished white wine from the revered Alsace region of France. Boasting a delightful balance of tart and sweet, it captivates the senses with intense aromas of green apple, lemon zest and a hint of flintiness. Upon tasting, you'll discover a vibrant citrus zestiness, backed by subtle minerality and a trace of honeysuckle. This medium-bodied Riesling offers a lively acidity, culminating in an impressively long, dry finish. A remarkable reflection of the Hugel family's wine-making craftsmanship, this classic Riesling is ideal for pairing with fish, shellfish or poultry.
