✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Famille Hugel's Gewurztraminer is a definitive benchmark for Alsace, showcasing the family's centuries-old mastery of this highly aromatic noble grape. Sourced primarily from the clay-limestone soils around the medieval village of Riquewihr, this wine captures the grape's intense, exotic personality. Historically, Gewurztraminer (the 'spiced' Traminer) has thrived in Alsace's unique dry microclimate, protected by the Vosges Mountains. Hugel crafts this classic cuvée with minimal intervention, utilizing gentle pneumatic pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by maturation in their historic, century-old oak casks. The result is a wine of intense aromatic complexity, bursting with signature notes of lychee, passion fruit, rose petals, and baking spices, balanced by a vibrant, dry finish that avoids the cloying heaviness often associated with the variety.
