Hugel Classic Gewurztraminer

Few producers have done more to define modern Alsace than Famille Hugel. Based in the village of Riquewihr, the family has been making wine continuously since 1639, and their Gewurztraminer remains one of the benchmark examples of the variety. Rather than chasing overt sweetness, Hugel's classic bottling emphasizes purity, structure, and varietal character, showcasing the grape's unmistakable aromatics while maintaining freshness and balance.

In the glass, Hugel Gewurztraminer delivers all of the hallmarks that make the grape so compelling: rose petal, lychee, jasmine, ripe peach, ginger, and exotic spice. Richly textured yet surprisingly energetic, it manages to be both expressive and food-friendly. This is a wine that shines alongside spicy Asian cuisine, Indian dishes, smoked salmon, and pungent cheeses, where its aromatic intensity and depth can truly shine.
