Hugel Riesling Schoelhammer Vendange tardive 2015 0,75l

Riesling Schoelhammer from Famille Hugel comes from a single, meticulously farmed parcel in the heart of Schoenenbourg and ranks among the estate s rarest wines. Deep marl soils lend remarkable depth and salty minerality. The nose, especially after some air, reveals citrus, green apple, ripe stone fruit, floral notes, honey and a touch of flint. On the palate the wine is concentrated and crystal clear, bone dry with firm acidity, dense texture and chalky mineral grip. Layers of flavour unfold slowly and promise long development in bottle. The finish is very long, focused and refined. A profound Riesling to savour with noble fish, shellfish or carefully selected aged cheeses.

After fermentation in barrels or vats, extended bottle ageing adds poise and complexity.
