Famille Hugel Riesling 2019

91 Decanter

Alsace entrances not just because of fruit purity and aromatic finesse, but because it does these things with an inner wealth, a structure and a sinew which eludes both its German peers and the dry Riesling champions of Australia and New Zealand. The fruits in this justly badged ‘classic’ are round-contoured and poised. There’s a whisper of peach and apricot behind the apple and grape, and clove spice – but all of subtle vineyard origin. It’s mouthfilling and tender yet vivid, packed with freshness and drive: a spotless Riesling for all seasons.
