Hugel Hommage Riesling 1997
Region: Alsace, France
Variety: White Wine
Rating: 92.0

Riesling is considered by Alsace wine growers to be the most distinguished variety in the region, producing elegant, complex and very dry wines, except a tiny volume of late harvest examples and the Hommage selection. The Hommage a Jean Hugel Riesling was made from the best fruit from the steep, south-facing, stony and gypsum-rich Schoenenbourg vineyard.
