Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr Réserve Riesling has fresh, complex notes of pear and lime accompanied by white floral tones on the nose. Vivacious acidity at the fore; bursting with zesty citrus flavours on the palate. A long, well- structured finish.
Formed in '52, the Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr co-operative currently has 120 members. Situated around the village of Hunawihr, (9km northwest of Colmar) this co-op consists of family-owned winegrowers with a total vineyard coverage of 210 ha. The calcareous soil provides excellent vine-growing conditions. Located in the foothills of the Vosges mountain range, the region is characterised by undulating hillsides and very little rainfall.
The grapes are either machine or hand-harvested depending on their location on the sloping hillside. Cool fermentation lasts between 14 - 21 days. In order to preserve the purity of flavour and nuances of character, the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. Aging on fine lees occurs for a minimum of three months prior to bottling.
