2020 Henry Fuchs Hagel Riesling – Award-Winning German White Wine

Discover the 2020 Henry Fuchs Riesling: A Vibrant Expression of Alsace Terroir

Experience the captivating character of this critically acclaimed dry white wine, crafted by Henry Fuchs in the renowned Alsace region of France. Sourced from the steep, terraced slopes of the Hagel lieu-dit – a unique site defined by ancient gneiss soils descending from the Vosges mountains – this Riesling embodies its exceptional origin.

The 2020 vintage opens with an alluring aromatic profile, shimmering with vibrant notes of sun-ripened orange, tangerine, and subtle hints of earthy dried herbs. On the palate, discover a beautifully balanced wine: generous and full-bodied, yet impeccably focused and energetic. Layers of zesty citrus, guava, and baked pineapple unfold, complemented by intriguing whispers of honeysuckle and exotic spice. A distinct mineral backbone, characteristic of its stony terroir, provides structure and drive, leading to a supremely satisfying, bone-dry finish marked by a touch of lanolin complexity.

Praised by leading critics (91 Points Vinous, 90 Points Wine Enthusiast), this food-friendly dry Riesling showcases remarkable purity and tension. Its combination of ripe fruit richness, vibrant acidity, and pronounced minerality makes it a standout choice for discerning wine lovers seeking a sophisticated, mineral-driven French white wine. Perfectly paired with shellfish, poultry, or Asian cuisine, this 13% alcohol Riesling offers an unforgettable taste of Alsace’s distinctive landscape.
