Hugel et Fils Alsace Riesling 2013

Christine Havens

Hugel is always solid, and reasonably priced. It was my pleasure to taste this gem at a Wines of Alsace dinner in Portland. White flowers, white peaches and a quaint dab of kerosene, this is classic Alsatian Riesling. It boasts a "straight backbone", as our dinner host Thierry Fritsch described it, inlaid with stone fruit, and feels dry, even with 7.45 g/l residual sugar, enough to give it lushness and depth. This is one producer that is never disappointing. 12/4% ABV | Sample

This was actually my first Riesling ever! I very much enjoyed it. The nose was sweet and floral, but the flavor was very crisp and refreshing with a touch of honey.

Beau Carson

Petrol and citrus.

Andrew Steffensmeier

Mint, honey, aping flower and lime on the nose. Honeysuckle, lemon zest, green apple, fresh green and zesty acids on the palate. Decent pleasant finish.

Alex Medina

Nice melon notes with great finesse and pairs well with pasta.

Pooneet Kant

Quite liked this, especially for the price. Excellent freshness and acidity. Not especially aromatic, but still nice.
