This is Hugel's signature wine, a dry Riesling that stands out for its finesse and frankness and is the ideal partner to fish and seafood thanks to its wonderful balance and elegance. Dry and elegant, it expresses itself best on their steepest slopes with complex minerality.

Complex nose, intense with citrus fruit flavours combined with mineral hints bringing out a lot of complexity. Well-balanced acidity. Some butter notes also appear on the mouth, blending with the mineral aromas, bringing to this wine a very strong aromatic complexity.

A heavenly, full-bodied dry Riesling with forceful minerality from 100-year-old vines grown in the blue slate soil of Graach.
Graach is a small village in the Mosel valley. It’s steep slate slopes produce wines that combine elegance with rustic strength. Grosses Gewächs (GG) is the designation for an estate’s best dry wine from a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard. This limited-production wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and kept in the barrel, on the full lees, for a year before bottling. The extended maturation time allows the wine to develop greater texture and a deeper natural harmony. This is a fully ripe wine, with vibrant aromatics and a pronounced acidity that gives it a brilliant structural precision.
A vibrant, expressive Riesling with the same depth as its predecessor, but this one has a slight fizz that lifts the palate even further. The rich flavors of citrus, pear, and subtle honey are made even more dynamic by the effervescence, adding a touch of liveliness and freshness. The acidity balances beautifully, providing structure and ensuring a crisp, satisfying finish.

This precipitously steep and rocky vineyard, Wehlener Sonnenuhr yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. The classic blue slate soil gives the wine a delicate, crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach and lemon fruit. It's a charming wine that dances gracefully on the palate.

Fresh, fruity and subtly sweet Riesling. Pale yellow in colour. With all kinds of fruits in the aroma: from lemon to exotic fruit and from grapefruit to apples. Juicy in taste and light in structure (low alcohol percentage). Pale yellow in colour.

Schieferkopf is owned by the prestigious French Winery Chapoutier.
Light yellow with golden tints. Both fruity and floral. Citrus, Mirabelle-plum and orange blossom notes. Taut on the palate and mineral structure, lovely roundness. A fresh, nearly saline, wine. Very long finish.
