[SOLD-OUT] Hugel Gewurztraminer Classic 2013

Vinous Media 90 points!
“Bright, gold-tinged yellow. Lichee, grapefruit, sweet spices and a hint of grilled bacon on the musky, perfumed nose. Then very clean in the mouth, showing smoke and saline notes to the lemon, orchard fruit and green papaya flavors. This persistent wine boasts sneaky concentration and power, with noteworthy 7.7 g/l acidity for Gewürztraminer providing lift. Finishes with a welcome nuance of sweetness.”
Ian D'Agata, Vinous Media, February 2016

Lively, very young colour, pale green, clear, remarkably bright, deep and intense despite its youthful age. The bouquet is frank and open, refined, elegant, perfectly aromatic and perfumed yet not exuberant. All in all, this wine is bewitchingly expressive, yet still full of freshness. Fresh pineapple, mango, passion fruit, white peach, ginger, rose, jasmine, mignonette, lily...

On the palate it is dry, slightly taut, juicily crunchy, soft, supple and nicely balanced. Its finish explodes with fruit and perfume, yet is not heavy... and it is perfectly capable of charming you into a second glass...

The spice of Alsace and one of Famille Hugel's signature wines. It is both aromatic and extroverted through its floral and spicy notes. Gewurztraminer is an invitation to accompany a variety of spicy Asian dishes as well as smoked salmon and strong cheeses.
