Description

This is a full bottle of Hugel's 1988 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles 1988, a tremendous dessert wine showing beautifully now. The bottle is clean and unmarked, with a superb level high into the neck. The overall condition of the bottle is excellent showing no signs of damage or seepage.

Notes from the Hugel website:

From historical plots of the Hugel estate in the heart of the Grand Cru Sporen. Spontaneously grapes affected by noble rot harvested exclusively by hand with a very fast sorting our oldest vines. Wort 18.4 ° potential alcohol at harvest.

Grapes harvested in small containers and transported by gravity to the presses, without any pumping or other mechanical intervention.Fermentation in temperature-controlled barrels after racking. Light filtration before the spring and bottle aging in our cellars until released for sale. Balance Alcohol / Sugar is 14.3 ° and 70 g / l.

A review from Cellartracker:

/27/2012 - DAVID LOLE LIKES THIS WINE:93 Points
Next with savoury crepes (filled with crispy smoky bacon, fetta cheese, rocket and topped with maple syrup and a balsamic glaze - an amazingly impressive combo!) I poured the remnants of a Hugel 1988 Gewutztraminer SDGN - chocka-block full of lychee, rose-hip, exotic spices and candied apricot with high acidity that tapered the high residual sugar normally found in this very late-picked style. For such an old wine to hold in the fridge for 24 hours and remain ultimately drinkable was no mean feat. About 91 points last night - I rated at 93 the night before.

I’m happy to ship this wine to you, or you can collect it either from Wiltshire or central London where I work and save yourself the shipping cost.

For bids from outside the UK, please contact me for a shipping cost before you bid.

If you wish to pay using Paypal, their 4% charges will be added to the invoice.
