Famille Hugel Riesling Estate 2018

Famille Hugel’s Riesling “Estate” is a new selection “parcellaire” of carefully chosen plots of the estate situated in the most prestigious crus of Riquewihr. Most of the plots chosen for this new wine are being converted into Organic viticulture.

The unique marl soils of Riquewihr, in and around the Schoenenbourg give a characteristic minerality to wines from this remarkable terroir. A wine of depth and of patience.

The Estate range is a new creation for Riesling and Gewurztraminer grown in selected, family-owned plots in Riquewihr’s top sites. The Riesling comes from the marl soils of the area around Schoenenbourg, the Gewurztraminer from the clay soils of the Sporen where the family owns eight hectares. Both Riesling and Gewurztraminer represent 40% each of the family’s vineyards, which adds up to 30 hectares
