✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Famille Hugel, established in the picturesque medieval village of Riquewihr in 1639, is one of Alsace's most venerable winemaking dynasties. Their Muscat Classic is a dry, vibrantly aromatic white wine that beautifully showcases the region's unique approach to this ancient grape family. Unlike the sweet, fortified Muscats of southern France, Hugel's expression is vinified completely dry. It is typically crafted from a traditional blend of Muscat Ottonel and Muscat à Petits Grains, grown on clay and limestone soils. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed, with the juice fermented under temperature control in neutral vessels to preserve the explosive, primary fruit aromatics. In Alsace folklore, the release of the new Muscat vintage is celebrated as the herald of spring, capturing the essence of fresh, crunchy grapes straight from the vine.
🍾 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.
