Tasting Note

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

Product Notes

Famille Hugel Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer is a late-harvest wine that has a luscious sweetness and complexity that is highly revered for its character and depth. This wine is a product of the acclaimed Hugel family, which has been producing wine in the Alsace region of France since 1639. With its delicate aromas of florals, lychee, and spices, this wine offers a rich palate of honeyed fruits, white flowers, and an exquisite finish that lingers. It can be paired with rich and spicy Indian or Asian dishes, but it also stands beautifully alone as a dessert wine. Famille Hugel Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer is truly an exceptional wine that represents the pinnacle of late-harvest wines.

About the Winery

Famille Hugel

The Hugel family has been making wines in Alsace ever since 1639. While Hans Urich  Hugel’s family settled down in Alsace during the 15th century, he took control of Winegrowers' Corporation in the region during 1639. Within a few years, his son constructed the family house in the Rue des Cordiers. The family crest, which was carved on this house's doorway, is used as Famille Hugel’s logo even today.
