✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Famille Hugel, established in the picturesque medieval village of Riquewihr in 1639, is one of Alsace's most venerable winemaking dynasties. The Pinot Gris Estate is crafted exclusively from the family's own estate vineyards, which are characterized by a high concentration of clay and limestone. Historically known in Alsace as 'Tokay d'Alsace'—a name steeped in the legend of General Lazarus von Schwendi, who supposedly brought vines back from Hungary in the 16th century—this 100% Pinot Gris showcases the true noble character of the grape. Hugel vinifies this wine using traditional large oak foudres, allowing the natural richness, smoky complexity, and stone-fruit opulence of the grape to develop while maintaining a vibrant, structured acidity without undergoing malolactic fermentation.
🍾 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.
