✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hugel & Fils, established in the picturesque village of Riquewihr in 1639, is synonymous with the soul of Alsace winemaking. The rare Riesling Selection de Grains Nobles 'S' represents the absolute pinnacle of their craft. Jean 'Johnny' Hugel was the driving force behind the 1984 legislation that legally defined these late-harvest categories. This legendary cuvee is crafted only in exceptional vintages from individually hand-selected, botrytized Riesling berries, primarily sourced from the historic, steep clay-marl slopes of the Schoenenbourg vineyard. The noble rot concentrates the sugars and acids, resulting in a wine of breathtaking complexity, balancing luscious honeyed sweetness with the vibrant, mineral-driven acidity characteristic of the finest Alsace Riesling. It is a testament to centuries of family devotion and the unique microclimate of Riquewihr.
🍾 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.
