✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Famille Hugel's Riesling Selection de Grains Nobles is a legendary sweet nectar born from a painstaking, labor-intensive process. Jean Hugel was the driving force behind the strict 1984 guidelines defining Alsace's late-harvest wines, and this cuvee represents the pinnacle of that vision. Sourced from the historic, steep clay-limestone slopes of Riquewihr, predominantly the Grand Cru Schoenenbourg, this wine is only produced in exceptional vintages when autumn mists and warm afternoons foster the development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot). Harvesters must meticulously select individual shriveled berries over multiple passes through the vineyard. The resulting must is incredibly concentrated, fermenting slowly in historic oak casks to yield a masterpiece of intense acidity, luscious sweetness, and profound mineral complexity.
🍾 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.
