Hugel is an undisputed icon of Alsace winemaking, with a history dating back to 1639 and a reputation that spans the globe. Their classic Pinot Gris is a benchmark example—one that graces top restaurant wine lists worldwide and inspires many New Zealand winemakers to follow its lead. Sourced from hand-harvested grapes grown on the limestone and clay-rich slopes surrounding the historic village of Riquewihr, this wine includes a generous portion of estate-grown fruit. It’s a truly dry, gastronomic Pinot Gris—rich, textured, and built for the table rather than the tasting room. Pinot Gris from Alsace boast a great ageing potential, and this one is no exception. Expect layers of spice, ripe pear, and a savoury edge, making it a stunning partner to everything from roast poultry to creamy mushroom dishes. If you’re serious about Pinot Gris, this is one to experience.

Spicy, rich, and tropical, fig, apricot and pear with hints of exotic fruits, white lilies, and gardenias.

Dry to taste, but mouth-filling and lush with ripe tropical notes and a sleek velvety texture, it has a juicy, aromatic finish that lingers on the palate, finishing fresh. A great match with Asian cuisine as well. Enjoy between now and 2028+ and the recommended serving temperature is 6-8 degree.
