Vinification of Gewürztraminer Classic by Hugel & Fils
This dry white wine from 100% Gewurztraminer is a real specialty from Alsace, here this vine reaches the height of its expressive power. After harvesting, which is carried out exclusively by hand, the grapes are gently pressed. After static preliminary clarification of approximately 12 hours, the must is placed in wooden drums or tanks, where the temperature-controlled fermentation takes place. After bottling in spring, the wine still matures in the cellar for a while before it is put into sale.

We recommend this white wine as an aperitif and to amuses-gueules, tapas, paella, lobster gratin or Kaisergranathummer, marinated and grilled fish, sushi, tempura, oven-roasted wild game, Indonesian, Indian or Mexican cuisine and Munster cheese.
