austere and very tightly wound finale

with a honeyed quince character

gently perfumed floral character

The palate impression is firm without being stiff and thanks to all of the dry extract this should actually be approachable on the younger side if desired

Hugel, Riesling Schoelhammer other_regions_italy austere and very tightly woundThe crown in the Hugel jewels, Schoelhammer comes from 30 rows in the core of Grand Cru Shoenenbourg, high above Riquewihr. An intense, dry and mineral charged Riesling with floral aromas and concentrated lime lemon zest flavours. Fermented in neutral oak, this retains absolute purity and clarity of flavour. Bottled in Spring 2012, this vintage was first released in 2018. Still very youthful and with decades ahead.
