Hugel Riesling Vendange Tardive 2015 is a rich dessert wine from Alsace crafted from late-harvested grapes in an exceptional year. This wine is sourced from the steep marl slopes of the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru which provides a firm mineral backbone to balance the high natural sugar. The 2015 vintage displays a bright golden colour with intense aromas of honey, lime marmalade, petrol and white flowers. On the palate it is full-bodied and luscious with a vibrant acidity that ensures the sweetness remains fresh rather than cloying. Flavours of candied ginger and ripe peaches lead into a long and complex finish.
