Hugel et Fils Gewürztraminer Alsace Aoc Hugel 2010

Winemaker's Notes:

Blassgelb, grünliche Akzente. Limetten und gut gereifte Aprikosen in der verführerischen Nase, auch Rosenblätter und Orangenschale. Ein schönes Frucht-Säure-Spiel zeigt sich auf dem Gaumen, der von Aromen nach Mirabellen und Zitrusfrüchten geprägt ist, auch frische Sommermelonen sind auszumachen, dezente mineralische Akzente; insgesamt sehr elegant und von feiner Struktur, rassig im Abgang.

Hugel et Fils:

Alsace : a climate blessed by the gods Thanks to its privileged geographical situation, Alsace is the driest wine region in France. Its micro-climate is caused by the distance which separates it from maritime influences, and by the protection of the Vosges mountains. This climate enables the grapes to ripen slowly to full maturity, giving the wine great finesse of aroma and unequalled intensity. A mosaic of soils Because of its complex geology, Alsace has an infinite multitude of combined soil types. Centuries of experience have taught the winegrowers how best to match each vine variety to each type of soil. Riquewihr : the most noble wines of all the country From the Middle Ages, Riquewihr was renowned for "the most noble wines of all the country". The Hugel family’s vineyard estates cover more than 25 hectares, exclusively in Riquewihr, and almost half of which are in the Grand Cru zone. No use of fertiliser, low yields, vines averaging thirty years of age, thinning out of excess bunches, and picking always by hand, are all factors which contribute to rigorously high levels of quality. The finest vineyards of the region In addition to its own estates, the Hugel family purchases grapes and grapes alone, from growers under long-term contract, farming more than 100 hectares. Thanks to the skill of their growers, a dozen of the best villages of Alsace thereby contribute to the quality of "Hugel" wines. Their grapes are also always picked by hand, and according to a pre-arranged timetable. Read less

The 2010 Gewurztraminer has expressive aromas that are typically floral, with roses, orange blossom, hawthorn, Williams pear, lychee, and a note of oriental fragrance. On the palate, the wine is dry, yet rich, fine and elegant, with excellent balance. While it can be enjoyed upon release to enjoy its freshness and verve, it can also be kept for 2 to 3 years. - Winery ** SOLD OUT **
