✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deeply rooted in the picturesque medieval village of Riquewihr, Famille Hugel has been crafting definitive Alsatian wines since 1639. The Estate Gewurztraminer showcases the family's historic estate vineyards, which feature a high proportion of clay and limestone soils, notably from the slopes of the grand crus Sporen and Schoenenbourg. Historically, Hugel chose not to label their wines with the Grand Cru designation, preferring instead to let the family name and specific cuvees speak to their ultimate quality. This 100% Gewurztraminer is celebrated for its intense, expressive bouquet of lychee, passion fruit, and rose petals, underpinned by a distinct spicy complexity of ginger and white pepper. It represents a masterclass in balancing Alsatian richness with a dry, elegant 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.
