✨ Technical Specifications
Famille Hugel's Gewurztraminer Réserve Personnelle represents the pinnacle of the estate's dry to off-dry Gewurztraminer production, sourced predominantly from the historic, clay-marl slopes of the Sporen Grand Cru in Riquewihr. This exceptional terroir has been celebrated since the Middle Ages for imparting unparalleled richness, spice, and longevity to the grape. Vinified in the family's historic 16th-century cellars using large, neutral oak foudres, this wine is crafted only in exceptional vintages. It showcases the classic, opulent Alsatian style, bursting with aromas of lychee, rose petals, ginger, and exotic spices, balanced by a deep mineral structure and a dry, powerful finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1639 in the picturesque medieval village of Riquewihr, Famille Hugel is one of the most venerable and celebrated wine producers in Alsace, France. Managed continuously by more than a dozen generations of the Hugel family, the estate combines historic family vineyards with carefully sourced fruit to champion the diverse terroirs of the region. Hugel was instrumental in establishing the official regulations for Alsace's revered late-harvest categories, Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. Renowned globally for their purity, elegance, and ageability, the winery crafts benchmark dry and sweet expressions of noble Alsace varieties, particularly Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris, vinified traditionally in century-old oak foudres.
