Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles “S” 2011 - Famille Hugel 2011

The Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles “S” 2011 - Famille Hugel is a masterpiece of Alsace, a region renowned for its extraordinary ability to express the nuances of the Riesling grape variety. Produced from late-harvested grapes affected by Botrytis cinerea, this wine stands out for its intense sweetness, balanced by a vibrant acidity that provides freshness and longevity.

In the glass, it shows a bright golden color, scented with complex notes of honey, dried apricot, candied citrus, and spicy hints of ginger and saffron. On the palate, it opens with a rich but never cloying structure, where the typical minerality of the Schlossberg terroir, one of the most famous vineyards of the Famille Hugel, intertwines with aromas of ripe fruit and a pleasant aromatic persistence. The aging is carried out exclusively in steel to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit, resulting in an impeccable balance between elegance and opulence.

Perfect as a meditation wine or paired with dishes based on foie gras, blue cheeses, or dried fruit desserts, this Sélection de Grains Nobles embodies the artisanal mastery and territorial identity of Alsace.
