Product Notes

Famille Hugel Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer is a French wine rich in tradition and refined in taste. This late harvest Gewurztraminer is a delight for the senses exhibiting an elegant nose of tropical fruit and spices. The palate is lush, showcasing profound layers of apricot, honey, and delicate rose petals. Characterised by its deep golden hue and irresistible sweetness, it simultaneously offers a refreshing acidity that gifts it a harmonious balance. This exquisite example of Alsace wine is perfect to savour alone or pair with strong cheeses or spiced desserts for a remarkable gastronomic experience.

Tasting Notes

From the fine 2009 vintage, yet the colour is still bright and very young, straw and lemon yellow with lots of pale green hints. It displays the depth and texture that come from a subtle touch of over-ripe grapes, while numerous silky tears cling to the glass. The bouquet is immediately seductive and mouth-watering, a splendidly aromatic Gewurztraminer that reveals a full complement of rose, jasmine, reseda, acacia blossom, juicy mango and candied citrus, in harmony with a fine and elegant sweetness. The wine gently caresses the palate with a mellow wave of supple, juicy fruit. Such temptation is difficult to resist, an invitation to be shared with all those we care for. Despite the sweetness that comes from the over-ripe grapes of this exceptional vintage, the sensation that persists is one of elegance and refinement
