Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer Hugel 2012

Domaine Hugel Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer 2012 is a mature-vintage, late-harvest white wine from the Alsace region of France. Founded in 1639 in Riquewihr, Domaine Hugel produces benchmark Alsatian wines from its entry-level varietal bottlings through to its Grands Crus, and Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles wines. Hugel is now run by 13th generation family winemakers, Jean-Frédéric and Marc-André. Hugel Vendange Tardive is only made in the very best vintages. ""The 2012 Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive is clear, fresh and tonic on the lemon-scented nose that is intertwined with stony notes and hints of mint. Generous and very elegant on the palate, this is a beautifully calm and balanced Gewürz with fine tannins and uplifting salinity. You don`t really feel the 100 grams per litre of residual sugar here; it`s really stimulating and pristine." Wine Advocate, 2023
