Hugel
The spice of Alsace and one of Famille Hugel’s signature wines. It is both aromatic and extroverted through its floral and spicy notes. Gewurztraminer is an invitation to accompany a variety of spicy Asian dishes as well as smoked salmon and strong cheeses.
Originally from northern Italy, this is the emblematic grape of our region due to its slow maturation with cool nights giving its full varietal expression. Dry but intensely aromatic.
In the Vineyard: The grapes are transported in small crates to the presses, which are filled by gravity without the use of pumps or any other mechanical process.
In the Cellar: After pressing, the must is allowed to settle for a few hours before fermenting in temperature-controlled barrels or tanks (between 18 and 24 °C). The wine is racked only once before natural clarification over the winter. In the following spring, it is lightly filtered before bottling. The bottles are then aged in our cellars until release.
The entire production is sealed with DIAM corks, eliminating the risk of cork taint (TCA).
Technical data: The residual sugar is 13.8 g/l, with a tartaric acidity of 4.87 g/l and a pH of 3.58. The vines are 45 years old, and the yield is 49 hl/ha.
