Hugel Gewürztraminer

The first highlights and heavy legs announce that this is going to be a very powerful wine. And the complex, intense and profound aromas do nothing to dispel that impression: musk, candied quince, grilled orange zest, marmalade, acacia honey... The immediate impression given by the flavour of the property’s Gewürztraminers is always their sense of fullness and this is a wine that sets out its stall with a certain elegance. On the palate it is constant and harmonious, creamy and full; the flavour hangs around for a while as is typical to wines from the heavy soils of the Riquewihr. The harmonious and elegant final note is moderately acid and remarkable for its refined and noble bitterness.
