history
Land of contrasts, Alsace enjoys a great diversity of terroirs and landscapes. Gifted for its vine cuture, it is endowed with a dry and temperate climate, complex geology, favorable soils and an ideal exposure for its vineyards. Its geographical situation at a crossroads of Germanic and Roman influences, also tells a story: that of a culture fostered at the very outset by the Romans and perpetuated since by empassioned winegrowers.
Vineyard
Various hill-sides around the little village of Bergheim with a predominance of heavy soils compound by clay and limestone.
Winemaking
While traditional methods of wine-making have been rigourously maintained, the family Hugg also used the most up to date equipment. This marriage of old and new enables family Hugg to offer a prestigious marriage of fine wines among the best the French government has distinguished with the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée label /nNo Ageing.
Tasting notes
Eye: gold yellow and clear color Nose: expressive floral nose with some roses hints, fragrances of apricot and tropical fruits Mouth: supple and fresh, complex and rich but still elegant and food friendly due to its freshness. Aromas of exotic fruits and different spices and a peppery/ginger finish. Gastronomic Gewurztraminer with surprising off dry finish!
Food pairing
Happy match for fish in spicy sauces (ginger sauce, sea bass with fennel), smoked salmon, appreciated with sweet and sour dishes, ethnic spicy dishes (Thaï, Indian or Chinese) as well as strong cheeses as Munster, Epoisse, Blue cheese or Brie de Meaux.
Aging potential
3 to 5 years.
