Felix Peters Riesling Hubacker 2022 white

Felix Peters Riesling Hubacker 2022 is a precise, mineral-driven Riesling from one of Rheinhessen’s most coveted vineyards, Dalsheimer Hubacker. Known as a grand terroir for top-class dry Rieslings, Hubacker combines power, elegance and an unmistakable exotic fruit profile. With parcels on the sun-kissed southern slope, Weingut F. & F. Peters crafts a wine that captures both the clarity and depth this limestone-rich site can deliver.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Riesling Hubacker shows a bright, pale lemon color with green reflections, signaling freshness and youthful energy. The nose is finely etched rather than opulent, opening with subtle exotic fruit notes of mango and ripe citrus—orange, mandarin and lime—woven together with hints of crushed stone, chalk and a cool, herbal lift. On the palate, this Riesling is compact yet elegant, with an impressive density of fruit that never feels heavy. Lime, mandarin and juicy pineapple meet a distinctly chalky, almost powdery mineral backbone typical of the yellow limestone soils of Hubacker. The acidity is precise and linear, giving the wine a long, focused finish and a sensation of coolness and finesse. While already approachable in its youth, the structure and acidity suggest very good aging potential; expect increasing complexity over 5–10 years, with more pronounced mineral nuances and integrated fruit.

Production
The Riesling grapes for Felix Peters’ Hubacker come from two carefully selected parcels on the southern slope of the famed Dalsheimer Hubacker in southern Rheinhessen. This site is characterized by warm exposition and yellow limestone (gelber Kalkstein), which imparts both exotic fruit aromas and a marked, chalky minerality. Harvesting is typically done by hand, allowing strict selection of perfectly ripe, healthy berries and preserving the delicacy of the fruit. In the cellar, Felix Peters favors a gentle, low-intervention approach: careful pressing, cool fermentation—often in stainless steel or neutral large vessels—to retain aromatic purity, and extended time on the fine lees to build texture and complexity without masking the terroir expression.

Food & Serving
Felix Peters Riesling Hubacker 2022 is a versatile food wine that shines with refined, aromatic dishes. It pairs beautifully with delicate seafood such as ceviche, sashimi, grilled sea bass or scallops, as well as with Asian-inspired cuisine featuring citrus, ginger or mild chili heat. White meats like roast chicken or veal with light lemon-herb sauces, and vegetarian dishes with fennel, asparagus or fresh goat cheese also work wonderfully. Serve well-chilled but not icy, ideally around 9–11°C, to allow the aromas to open. A brief decant of 20–30 minutes can help the young wine unfold its subtle exotic fruit and mineral complexity.
