Cave Vinicole De Hunawihr Riesling Reserve

White wine from Alsace

Riesling Reserve

This Cave Vinicole De Hunawihr Riesling Reserve from Alsace by Cave has a fresh and quite intense aroma of green lemon, pear, lychee and white flowers. In the mouth the wine is dry, with an acidity that gives a feeling of freshness, complemented by the flavors of ripe yellow stone fruit and citrus

Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr is a cooperative located in the heart of the Grands Crus region of Alsace in France. The policy aims to expand the selective vinification process, which has been developed for many years to offer a wide choice of wines. The range includes generic wines, wines awarded gold medals in major wine competitions, Lieux-dits, Grands Crus, sparkling wines, Late Harvest and Noble Selected Grapes

The picking is largely done by hand: 100% for Grands Crus and Lieux-dits, and more than 60% for the rest of the range. The grapes are brought from the vineyards to the pressing plant in special harvest wagons to preserve the entire grapes.

The winery only receives one grape variety and an origin per day. (Reserve, Lieux-dits, Grands Crus), depending on the terroir and microclimate. The winemaker then makes a second selection based on the condition of the grapes

The grapes are not destemmed or crushed, whole grapes are put in the press.

After the grapes are pressed, the juice is stored in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. It is then drained by flotation to separate the clear juice from the heavier impurities (sediment), before fermentation begins.

The fermentation is started mainly by adding selected cultured yeasts, their action is slowed down by gently lowering the temperature in the tank in order to obtain a finer wine
