Hugel’s redesigned Estate Gewurztraminer (formerly labelled as ‘Tradition’) is made with grapes mostly from the grand cru Schoenenbourg site in Riquewihr, which has the ability to retain freshness even in warmer vintages.
Their Gewurztraminer is a rich, spicy, honeyed wine that is a perfect match for east Asian food and curry dishes.
Ripe with balanced acidity, this is an Alsace classic.

The wines in the ‘Estate’ range epitomise the true expression of the great terroirs of Riquewihr and come entirely from selected plots on the family estate.
A new selection “parcellaire” of carefully chosen plots of the Famille Hugel estate situated in Riquewihr crus. Most of the plots chosen for this new wine are being converted into Organic viticulture. The unique marl soils of Riquewihr, in and around the Schoenenbourg give a characteristic minerality to wines from this remarkable terroir. A wine of depth and of patience.

Nose: Sophisticated, expressive, intense aroma of perfectly ripe Gewürztraminer grapes; strongly scented yet delicate and refined. Hints of fresh roses, lily, passion fruit, litchi, mango, cardamom, orange blossom, freshly baked cake, acacia honey.
