Famille Hugel Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive 2010

Famille Hugel has been crafting Alsace's most age-worthy sweet wines for generations, and this Vendange Tardive Gewürztraminer is a late-harvest style built to develop for decades, made only in years when nature allows the required over-ripeness.

Deep gold, it's intensely aromatic with lychee, rose petal and candied ginger, rich and unctuous on the palate with just enough acidity to keep the sweetness in balance through a long, spiced finish.

Tasting notes: Gewürztraminer, 100%, late-harvest. Deep gold; lychee and rose petal; rich, spiced finish.

Food pairing: Foie gras, blue cheese, or spiced Asian desserts.
