Hugel Estate Riesling

Hugel Estate RieslingTasting notes by Serge Dubs, World's Best Sommelier 1989: Very attractive to the eye with a nice and intense density, straw and lemon yellow with plenty of light green highlights, a wonderful brightness and silvery sparkle over tight and sophisticatedly smooth legs. For the nose it is generous and complex with an attractive purity in its expression, well stated and full flavoured with a nice harmony between the fruity aroma and an excellent minerality

Hopped Mead is a bochet that also has Cascade and Chinook hops

The palate enters with a biscuity
