Hugel Schoelhammer Riesling 2012 is a mature, single-vineyard dry Riesling produced in the Grand Cru of Shoenenberg in Alsace. The Shoenenberg vineyard from which the Hugel family produces this wine lies on the most prized vineyard slope in Riquewihr, where 30 rows of Riesling vines grow on soils of triassic clay-marl. This wine was matured with just a single racking until the spring after harvest, then underwent an extended period of bottle ageing in the family`s historic cellars before release. Crystalline with youthful metallic hints of lime tree, primrose and straw, this is a thirst-quenching, aromatic and vivacious dry Riesling with a refined mineral finish. It can be enjoyed straight away but will cellar well for 10 to 20 years.
The 2012 Riesling Schoelhammer is from a separate parcel in the center of the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru. Planted in 1992, it has been bottled separately since 2007. This was the vineyard where the Hugels began their organic farming experiment as early as 2006. Compared to its 2012 Grossi Laüe counterpart, this is still tight and taut, showing some smokiness alongside the dried lemon peel, but still very shy on the nose. This will be released in March 2023, after ten years of bottle age - and it is still shy. More air gives a hint of waxiness, of more lemon zest, candied and dried. The palate is smooth, rounded, almost viscous and concentrated. This is taut and lemon-focused - and where its Grossi Laüe counterpart is serene, this is lemon-focused and has such pithiness. (Dry)
