2020 Henry Fuchs Hagel Riesling [V91][WE90]

Producer: Henry Fuchs  Region: Alsace, France  Varietal: Riesling  Year: 2020  Vinous, 91 Points  "Hagel is a lieu-dit in an elevated site on a tongue of gneiss that descends from the Vosges.  It is terraced and steep.  The 2020 Riesling’s nose shimmers with orange and tangerine notes, backed bye a lovely tinge of earthy dried yarrow.  The palate is full and generous but absolutely streamlined, energetic, stony and still brimming with ripe citrus notions.  Here, the pithiness of citrus is almost overtaken by a lemon oil sinuousness.  The finish is bone-dry and stony."  Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points  "Richer style, with orange peel acidity giving energy and focus to the flavors of guava, baked pineapple and aromatic hints of honeysuckle and curry spice. Lanolin note marks the finish."  Alcohol: 13%  *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
