Hugel Gewurztraminer

Details

The Hugel family have been making wine in Alsace since 1639 and today, the estate is in the hands of the 13 generation of the family. This is a benchmark example of an aromatic Alsace Gewürztraminer.

Tasting Note: Aromatic and extroverted, with floral and spicy notes leading to vibrant lychee‑like fruit. Dry yet richly expressive, finishing clean and perfumed.

The wine is racked just once, before natural clarification during the course of the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered just before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in cellar until released for sale. The whole production of this wine is closed with DIAM the cork without the risk of cork taint.
