Drew's Tasting Note

A complex nose of candied lemon, orange zest, marmalade and acacia honey. The palate translates the nose perfectly. It is harmonious, creamy and full, and the flavoursome finish goes on and on.

The Winery

The 12th consecutive generation of the Hugel family owns and manages Hugel & Fils, founded in 1639 in Riquewihr, Alsace, France. The Hugel estates are planted with only the noble Alsace grape varieties, with vines averaging 35 years of age. Hugel wines express the pure varietal character of Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat and Pinot Blanc, with no added flavour from new oak or sweetening. Beneath 16th-century buildings, the Huge cellars contain large oak barrels over one century old, including the famous ’S. Caterine’ cask, dated 1715, was named the world’s oldest working cask by the Guinness Book of Records.
