Famille Hugel

Gewürztraminer supplies spice, Pinot Gris body, Riesling finesse, Muscat a grapey character, and Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner refreshment. The grapes are harvested by hand from clay and limestone soils around Riquewihr. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats between eighteen and twenty-four degrees Celsius. Natural clarification and light filtration precede cellar ageing. The wine contains thirteen-point-five percent alcohol and 4.4 grams per litre of residual sugar.

Floral and open, this dry white carries Muscat notes of citrus and jasmine. The palate is dry, lively and mouthwatering. Muscat Ottonel makes up sixty percent of the blend, with forty percent Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented at controlled temperatures in casks or tanks without malolactic fermentation, lightly filtered and matured in bottle before release.
