Orange - Famille Hugel is a wine that tells the richness of the Alsatian terroir, an authentic expression of the passion and tradition of one of the most prestigious winemaking families in the region. Produced mainly from Gewürztraminer grapes, this wine stands out for its aromatic character and enveloping structure. The production area, located among the gentle hills of Alsace, provides the clusters with balanced ripening, ensuring a perfect balance between acidity and softness.

The aging takes place in stainless steel, preserving the freshness and aromatic intensity of the grape varieties. In the glass, Orange releases intense aromas of spices, exotic fruit, and floral notes that blend with a pleasant hint of citrus peel and honey. The palate opens with a soft texture, supported by a vibrant acidity that provides persistence and freshness. The finish is long and enveloping, ideal for accompanying spicy dishes, aged cheeses, and oriental cuisine, enhancing their most complex nuances. An elegant and contemporary expression of Alsace, perfect for those seeking an intense and surprising tasting experience.
