2014 Famille Hugel Schoelhammer Riesling

The 2014 Famille Hugel Schoelhammer Riesling is one of Alsace’s most iconic and collectible Rieslings, produced only in exceptional vintages from the Hugel family’s finest hillside vineyard in Riquewihr. Intensely precise and deeply layered, it opens with aromas of lime zest, green apple and white peach alongside jasmine, flint, wet stone and subtle petrol complexity from bottle age.

On the palate is powerful yet incredibly refined, combining crystalline acidity with remarkable concentration, minerality and tension that drive through an exceptionally long and elegant finish. The style is dry, structured and world-class, showcasing the purity, longevity and terroir expression of great Alsace Riesling.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a flagship Riesling for collectors and serious white wine enthusiasts. It’s all about finesse, precision and ageing potential rather than overt richness. Perfect with lobster, oysters, roast pork, fine Asian cuisine or aged cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar beautifully for another 15–20+ years.
