✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the historic Famille Hugel, who have been making wine in the picturesque village of Riquewihr since 1639, the 'Cuvée des Évêques' pays tribute to the Bishops of Strasbourg, who historically owned vineyards in the area and received tithes in the form of wine. This 100% Gewurztraminer is sourced from clay and limestone soils typical of the Alsace region, which impart both structure and aromatic complexity. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled vats and aged briefly on its fine lees to preserve its vibrant, exotic character. It showcases the classic, opulent profile of Alsatian Gewurztraminer, bursting with aromas of lychee, fresh rose petals, ginger, and exotic spices, balanced by a texturally rich yet dry-to-off-dry finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Famille Hugel blev grundlagt i 1639 i den maleriske middelalderlandsby Riquewihr og er et af de mest hæderkronede og berømte vinhuse i Alsace. Vingården har været drevet uafbrudt gennem mere end tolv generationer af Hugel-familien og forener historiske familieejede vinmarker med nøje udvalgte druer for at hylde regionens alsidige terroir. Hugel spillede en afgørende rolle i udformningen af de officielle regler for Alsaces ædle senhøstkategorier, Vendanges Tardives og Sélection de Grains Nobles. Vinhuset nyder international anerkendelse for sine vine præget af renhed, elegance og et enestående lagringspotentiale. Her fremstilles skelsættende tørre og søde fortolkninger af Alsaces ædle druesorter – især Riesling, Gewurztraminer og Pinot Gris – som traditionstro vinificeres på over hundrede år gamle egefoudres.
