✨ Technical Specifications
An assortment case from Famille Hugel represents a curated journey through the diverse expressions of Riesling, the undisputed king of Alsace grapes. Sourced from the historic, steep clay-limestone slopes surrounding the medieval village of Riquewihr—most notably the grand cru Schoenenbourg—these wines showcase Hugel's signature style of dry, mineral-driven precision. The assortment typically spans from their vibrant, fruit-forward 'Classic' range to the deeply complex, single-vineyard 'Schoelhammer' and historic late-harvest 'Vendanges Tardives' cuvées. Passed down through twelve generations, Hugel's winemaking philosophy relies on minimal intervention and aging in neutral, century-old oak casks, allowing the crystalline purity, petrol-tinged minerality, and electric acidity of Alsatian Riesling to shine brilliantly.
